Randy Duncan (
The Power of Comics) leads a discussion with some of the scholars who laid the foundations for the field of comics studies:
Paul Gravett (
Graphic Novels: Stories to Change Your Life),
David Kunzle (
History of the Comics Strip),
John Lent (
Cartooning in Africa;
Cartooning in Latin America), and
Joseph Witek (
Comic Books as History). The Pioneers discuss how they began researching comics, the contribution they feel they have made to the field, and how comics studies should continue to develop as a field or discipline.
