The International Journal of Comic Art was founded by Dr. John A. Lent, Professor of Mass Media & Communication at Temple University. Published bi-annually since 1999, IJOCA has grown to the point where, starting in 2009, it is now put out thrice-yearly.

Dr. Lent remains Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, but for the past few years, the journal has been assistant-edited by Jae-Woong Kwon and Xu Ying. Though IJOCA is only a print publication, its website has been recently updated to include bibliographic tables for all back issues, as well as other information.

IJOCA is Global and Inclusive in Scope

IJOCA prints authors from around the world, and has published articles on comics coming from over fifty countries. Its interdisciplinary scope means that it covers comic art in all its forms including, as IJOCA itself lists, "animation, comic books, newspaper and magazine strips, caricature, gag and political cartoons, humorous art, and humor or cartoon magazines."
