Hi,
I'm writing a paper about the above topics. I looked in the Chicago
Manual of Style to see if the names of the comic books (e.g. Superman) and
cartoons (e.g. Adam or Calvin and Hobbs) should be italicized, but I could
not find a reference.
Since graphic novels are "novels," I figure their names are italicized.
Does anyone know how cartoons and comic books are supposed to appear in
brochures or papers?
Thanks in advance,
Lynn
