Not to be confused with the technical aspects of comics creation, comics studies exists only with the creation of comics theory-which approaches comics critically as an art-and the writing of comics historiography (the study of the history of comics). Although comics and graphic novels have been generally dismissed as less relevant pop culture texts, scholars in fields such as semiotics, aesthetics, sociology, composition studies and cultural studies are now re-considering comics and graphic novels as complex texts deserving of serious scholarly study. Comics studies (also comic art studies, sequential art studies or graphic narrative studies) is an academic field that focuses on comics and sequential art.
