Resumo

A "indústria americana de revistas em quadrinhos" não é americana, seu verdadeiro produto não são revistas em quadrinhos e ela pode nem mesmo ser exatamente uma indústria. Este artigo parte de um mapa geoespacial de editores de revistas em quadrinhos e graphic novels ativos no mercado dos Estados Unidos, bem como estimativas de vendas derivadas do mercado direto [direct market] de varejistas especializados em revistas em quadrinhos e lojas de livros comerciais. A partir deles, coloca em questão certos "mapas mentais" herdados da publicação de revista em quadrinhos, como a divisão entre publicação “convencional” e “alternativa”/“independente”. Adotando uma abordagem relacional, sugere que uma sociologia da publicação de quadrinhos – e das indústrias culturais em geral – deve ser cautelosa ao aceitar noções que não encontram lastro conceitual sociológico, como "indústria".
