So the library doesn't have a "Comic Studies Database" ... when you are looking for sources, which databases you use will depend on the question you are researching.
A broad subject database which includes peer-reviewed journals, magazines, reference sets and podcasts covering the areas of criminal justice, history, economics, marketing, and psychology. Also includes podcasts and transcripts from NPR and CNN as well as videos from BBC Worldwide Learning.
Graphic literature appears in many different formats and styles, often with multiple authors and titles, which can lead to confusion when it comes time to cite your sources. Here is a guide to comic art citation written by Allen Ellis of Northern Kentucky University.
