Abstract
This study focuses on the management of the discursive topic in sequences of comic strips and it is inscribed within the research area dedicated to the continuum oral/written. Taking a functionalist perspective, in special that of Textual Linguistics, the study considers the topic not a simple, discrete function, but a complex functional domain, a scaling notion that characterizes itself by the properties of central concern and relevance. Supported by research models of oral texts, mainly Koch et al. (1992), one sequence of comic strips produced by a Brazilian author is analyzed in a research type both qualitative and interpretative. The textual organization is detected in observing both linear and hierarchical levels, identifying topic introduction, maintenance and change strategies. The study shows that thematic continuity is guaranteed by the combination of linguistic and visual elements and is made by similar strategies used in both oral and written texts, in addition to those specific of comic sequences.References
