Brazilian E-Book: Comics in the Digital Age

Marsupial Editora

Last year, the Brazilian publisher Marsupial released the book Comics in the Digital Age, presenting articles by twelve researchers who tackle and analyze different aspects of the relationship between comics and the digitalized world that is growing more and more present in our daily lives.

Now, the book is available also as an e-book, it can be acquired in the following online stores: Amazon, Apple Store, Kobo, Gato Sabido, Travessa and Cultura.

This isn’t the first project Marsupial has made available in digital format. At the end of 2013, The History of Comics in Brazil was released and the publisher has other offerings as e-books. For a full list, click here.

Brazil has a very strong publishing industry. They also have an educational system that is a fan of comic books- from celebrating the history of the medium to using comics to educate children. Their digital offerings are not as widespread as it is in the United States but the options are quickly multiplying. This book should inspire creators and publishers to pursue the digital frontier and make their offerings truly global!
