Morphological and Stylistic Analysis of Contemporary Popular American, European and Japanese Comics

Namen tega magistrskega dela je raziskati stripe kot edinstven medij. Vsak strip je sestavljen od vizualnega dela in literarnega dela, ki skupaj tvorita nekakšno zgodbo. Za dobro razumevanje stripa je potrebno definirati vse vizualne in literarne dele in njihove medsebojne vezi. Stripi imajo svoj vizualni jezik ki se razlikuje odvisno od kulture in geografske lokacije avtora. Zaradi tega se bo delala analiza stripov s področja ameriškega, evropskega in japonskega trga. Glede na rezultate analize, se bodo različni elementi stripa delili v skupine po geografski lokaciji in po žanrih, da bi vzpostavili kateri elementi prevladujejo v te dve kategoriji.The purpose of the Master thesis is to study comics as a unique media form. Every comic has visual and literary components, which work together to create a story.
