It's gonna be tough supporting the local guys through Comixology. I can't recall if I've recommended this book to you before. If I have, allow me to do it again.
You haven't, but you're right. I should read that. I picked up a copy of Komiks: Comic Art in Russia and if I'm to be honest, I could only get about five pages into it. It's a very hard read, but I want to give it a second shot. For some reason, I think it's important. In all seriousness, do you know of other historians out there who have a focus on pop culture, such as comics, advertising, and television? I'd love to read what they have to say.
Off the top of my head, no. But this shit is breathtaking. Netflix had it on DVD, but that was backintheday. Not sure where you can grab it these days...
