Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
This interdisciplinary volume explores how graphic narratives engage with urgent global issues—ranging from identity, trauma, and health to racial injustice, reproductive rights, disability, and ecological awareness. Featuring contributions from the U.S., Brazil, India, Canada, and Europe, the book highlights comics as powerful tools for storytelling, healing, and activism. It offers a globally relevant, intersectional perspective across fields such as graphic medicine, gender studies, disability studies, and environmental humanities. Organized into four thematic sections, the volume demonstrates how visual storytelling can challenge dominant narratives and foster empathy. With chapters analyzing Brazilian racial justice comics, American graphic medicine, and Indian ecological storytelling, the book is essential for scholars, students, educators, artists, and activists in Comics Studies, Cultural Studies, and Visual Arts. It invites readers to explore the transformative potential of comics in both academic and creative contexts.
