Mixing Visual Media in Comics sets out to explore the mixing of cartooning with other types of images in comics in terms of its narrative power. It explores what stories (and histories) are evoked, told, and challenged by different images, how they are experienced, and what type of reading practices they instate. The result of an intensive three-day international workshop held in St. John's, Newfoundland (Oct. 13-16, 2016), the papers collected in this special issue of ImageText challenge readers to consider how the convergence of different visual modes expands the multimodal potentialities for comics.
