The phylactery, the "bubble" of comics, is the ideal gateway to explore the relationship between text and image. Focusing on comics, this study aims to be a vast and eclectic inventory of the relationships between the pictorial and the verbal. From antique vases to comic book lettering, from the Phoenician alphabet to American comics, it draws a huge record of graphic possibilities, both in the devices of the text's integration with the image as in the choice of typography and lettering.
