Abstract
In this article, the concept of geographical classification - in itself not a particularly widespread method in cultural geography - is applied to the field of comics. Although geographical classification is already used in comics sometimes, it is rarely reflected upon. This article aims at closing this gap by addressing some issues concerning geographical classification and its appliance to works of art in general and comics in particular.
