"The [volume] is impressive and the reading rewarding: not only does the author situate most of the major works of the bande dessinee during the twentieth century, he mentions as well the main scholarly books devoted to the study of this genre...The sources are very well documented...There is nothing missing in this book, or maybe just the bandes dessinees themselves, which are too numerous to be included even in a dozen volumes." ? Modern & Contemporary France"...comics, and French comics in particular, are becoming a hot topic in the academic world....while giving a context to the visual, [the author] succeeds in keeping close to the comic books and even the specific pictures with which he deals. Hence, the book is full of concrete examples of an incredible variety of styles and themes of Bande dessinee, beautifully and smartly contextualized. Indeed, the analyses Grove provides throughout the book make it a very good tool for the study of French culture." ? H-France Review
"...a well-documented and well-written work that will not only be a valuable resource for research but should also be a livre de chevet for anyone teaching a class linked to BD [bandes desinees]...It should be noted that Grove does not merely recapitulate or synthesize the critical work published in French and English on BD. He also stakes out original and sometimes challenging positions." ? French Studies
"Comics in French is written in a friendly, engaging style. Grove patiently explains and justifies his largely chronological, historical approach at each step of the way, discussing its pros and cons. The book covers a vast number of text/image... [and] is a valuable and very readable new contribution to bande dessine studies. It deserves a place on the bookshelves of teachers, students and aficionados alike." ?

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
