New feature: Comic Art bibliography

The third issue of this year's IJOCA will be devoted to continuing John's 10-volume International Comic Art Bibliography, post-2005, with the cooperation of my online Comics Research Bibliography. As a run-up to that issue, I'll start posting sections that I've worked on. These won't have too many print publication citations yet because John and a graduate student are working on them. As expected, we're also concentrating in post-2005 to try to capture more of what definitely does not have already in print.

Please add missing citations to the comments section and we'll include you in the acknowledgements.

Let's see ... what to start with... how about Chris Ware?
