This collection of essays sets out to explore the interrelated concerns of documentary form, traumatic pasts, embodied histories, and graphic reportage as they intersect in and are worked out by the sequential artistic form of comics and graphic narratives. It brings the multiple perspectives of its different contributors to bear on these core issues, providing both a comprehensive response to several key strands of recent thought in comics criticism, as well as an analysis of the twentieth and twenty-first century’s ever-growing, increasingly diverse and notably global comics production.weiterlesen
