¹ A useful summary of the arguments for and against the term “graphic novel” can be found in Frey, Hugo and Baetens, Jan, The Graphic Novel: An Introduction (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2015), 1–5Google Scholar. I use the phrase without qualification, reflecting the terminology that Preiss, his collaborators, and his readers used themselves.

³ Ron Harris, “Argh,” CAPA-alpha, 167 (Sept. 1978), [1.49–62, 1.57]. Where sources lack pagination I have provided my own, indicated by square brackets. Numbers have been deduced by counting in from the front of the text, taking the front cover as page 1 and counting every side as a page. CAPA-alpha generates specific difficulties, a monthly collaborative fan publication sometimes more than 700 pages long and compiled from multiple newsletters; contributions to CAPA-alpha were inconsistently paginated and later mailings were typically divided into discrete bindings. I have ignored internal pagination in the newsletters themselves and attributed page numbers using the system referred to above. When an issue has been partitioned I use two numbers separated by a period: the first indicates which binding, the second represents the page(s) in that binding. Unbound contributions to CAPA-alpha are indicated with “[insert]” and my citations refer to the page numbers printed on those newsletters themselves, though where these are unpaginated I have allocated page numbers myself.

¹⁴ This picture of the collective nature of comics production, distribution, and reception is indebted to the model of the “comics world” that Bart Beaty espouses, which in turn is indebted to sociologist Howard Becker's concept of the “art world.” See Beaty, Bart, Comics versus Art (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2012)Google Scholar; Becker, Howard S., Art Worlds, anniversary edn (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2008)Google Scholar. Although Beaty draws on Becker more than on other critics, earlier versions of the “art-world” model had been proposed by the philosopher of art Arthur Danto and art critic George Dickie.
