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.

Queer Narratives in Contemporary American Comics: Gutter Smut provides timely cultural criticism of both fiction and nonfiction graphic narratives in order to reveal how social mores related to gender and sexuality have—and haven't—shifted since the turn of the twenty-first century.
MoreLong description:
Queer Narratives in Contemporary American Comics: Gutter Smut examines how comics reveal evolving perspectives on gender, sex and sexuality in the United States. Tracing moral panics from the mid-20th century to present-day radical cartoonists, this volume analyzes works from established creators like Alison Bechdel and Kelly Sue DeConnick alongside emerging cartoonists such as Laura Gao and Isabella Rotman. Through various feminist theoretical lenses, the book provides timely cultural criticism of both fiction and nonfiction comics, revealing how social mores related to gender have—and haven’t—shifted over time.
Queer Narratives in Contemporary American Comics: Gutter Smut serves as an invaluable resource for students of gender studies, cultural studies, media studies and other many other disciplines.
