3. Comicplus+ Comic trade press

Content: A well-researched yet readable overview of the intertwined history of the German-language comic trade press. The over 60 magazines published since 1970 have accompanied and sometimes even shaped the development of the German comic scene. Eckart Sackmann has compiled many facts from the history of this specialized literature and richly illustrated his study with over 200 images. Prior to the actual inventory, which takes up about half of the book, it is shown how the comic trade press has emerged from the activities of the comic and science fiction scenes and how it is dependent on corresponding foreign publications. A subsequent analysis of this specific form of comic journalism sheds light on the connections between market mechanisms and the origins and motivations of the publishers. 

4. Comicplus+ German Comic Research 2007. vol.3

With the yearbook "Deutsche Comicforschung" (German Comics Research), editor Eckart Sackmann wants to close gaps. The series is intended to cover the entire spectrum of German comics. In doing so, Sackmann follows the expanded concept of comics that has been advocated for some time by Scott McCloud and the international research group Platinum. Like all forms of cultural expression, comics have a long, interesting history spanning many centuries. Since it is useful to know about the origins of a thing and its peculiarities subject to the flow of time, fashions and technology in order to understand it, the editor endeavours to cover a broad arc through this history in each issue. In future, the yearbook "Deutsche Comicforschung" will also provide information on the current state of research, research that is only now in the process of emerging from its infancy. 

5. Comicplus+ German Comic Research 2005

Little is known about the origins of German comic history, little about the 19th century when our culture was internationally leading in this type of literature, and little about what happened afterward until the end of World War II. The yearbook "German Comic Research" aims to fill these gaps. The series is intended to cover the entire range of German comics and follows the expanded concept of comics as represented by Scott McCloud and the international research group Platinum for some time now. The editor understands comics not only as speech bubble comics but also as their predecessors in the evolution of picture storytelling. Like all cultural expressions, comics have a long, interesting history that spans many centuries. Scientifically meticulous yet still readable, enriched with hundreds of color illustrations, the yearbook "German Comic Research" offers a treasure trove of previously unknown examples of comic history in the German-speaking world.
