The Comic Book Western
One of the greatest untold stories about the globalization of the
Western is the key role of comics. Few American cultural exports
have been as successful globally as the Western, a phenomenon
commonly attributed to the widespread circulation of fiction, film,
and television. The Comic Book Western centers comics in
the Western's international success. Even as readers consumed
translations of American comic book Westerns, they fell in love
with local ones that became national or international sensations.
These essays reveal the unexpected cross-pollinations that allowed
the Western to emerge from and speak to a wide range of historical
and cultural contexts, including Spanish and Italian fascism,
Polish historical memory, the ideology of shōjo manga from
Japan, British post-apocalypticism and the gothic, race and
identity in Canada, Mexican gender politics, French critiques of
manifest destiny, and gaucho nationalism in Argentina. The vibrant
themes uncovered in The Comic Book Western teach us that
international comic book Westerns are not hollow imitations but
complex and aesthetically powerful statements about identity,
culture, and politics.
