: Re: Do I quote the author or artist from a comic? MLA I'm kind of confused on how to quote a scene in a comic/graphic novel. I understand that if you are quoting something that a character said,

If you're doing an individual review, you should mention the entire creative team. Writers, co-writers, pencils, pens, colors, letters. Whoever is on the masthead.

But for shorter citations, the general rule is to cite the writer and primary artist, sometimes with full names, sometimes last names.

If you're writing a paper or other work with a bibliography, do the longer versions of citations. You don't necessarily have to list the entire creative team but sometimes that's an easy cut and paste and it's a kindness. Do give full names of whoever you list.

If you have a bibliography with the longer citation and you need a shorter version for the text itself, I think it would be fine to use the last name of whoever is first on the masthead or just give the name of the comic. If you're talking about the art, you might want to mention the artist and ditto for the script where you'd want to mention the writer.

If you do not have a bibliography and the only reference will be within the text, then list both writer and artist.
