Drawing from Life
Autobiography has seen enormous expansions and challenges over
the past decades. One of these expansions has been in comics, and
it is an expansion that pushes back against any postmodern notion
of the death of the author/subject, while also demanding new
approaches from critics.
Drawing from Life: Memory and Subjectivity in Comic Art
is a collection of essays about autobiography, semiautobiography,
fictionalized autobiography, memory, and self-narration in
sequential art, or comics. Contributors come from a range of
academic backgrounds including English, American studies,
comparative literature, gender studies, art history, and cultural
studies. The book engages with well-known figures such as Art
Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi, and Alison Bechdel; with cult-status
figures such as Martin Vaughn James; and with lesser-known works by
artists such as Frédéric Boilet.
Negotiations between artist/writer/body and drawn/written/text
raise questions of how comics construct identity, and are read and
perceived, requiring a critical turn towards theorizing the comics'
viewer. At stake in comic memoir and semi-autobiography is
embodiment. Remembering a scene with the intent of rendering it in
sequential art requires nonlinear thinking and engagement with
physicality. Who was in the room and where? What was worn? Who
spoke first? What images dominated the encounter? Did anybody
smile? Man or mouse? Unhinged from the summary paragraph, the
comics artist must confront the fact of the flesh, or the corporeal
world, and they do so with fascinating results.

Perfect Copies
Analyzing the way that recent works of graphic narrative use the
comics form to engage with the \"problem\" of reproduction, Shiamin
Kwa's Perfect Copies reminds us that the mode of
production and the manner in which we perceive comics are often
quite similar to the stories they tell. Perfect Copies
considers the dual notions of reproduction, mechanical as well as
biological, and explores how comics are works of reproduction that
embed questions about the nature of reproduction itself. Through
close readings of the comics My Favorite Thing Is Monsters
by Emil Ferris, The Black Project by Gareth Brookes,
The Generous Bosom series by Conor Stechschulte,
Sabrina by Nick Drnaso, and Panther by Brecht
Evens, Perfect Copies shows how these comics makers push
the limits of different ideas of \"reproduction\" in strikingly
different ways. Kwa suggests that reading and thinking about books
like these, that push us to engage with these complicated
questions, teaches us how to become better readers.

Cartooning
The best cartooning is efficient visual storytelling-it is as much a matter of writing as it is of drawing. In this book, noted cartoonist and illustrator Ivan Brunetti presents fifteen distinct lessons on the art of cartooning, guiding his readers through wittily written passages on cartooning terminology, techniques, tools, and theory. Supplemented by Brunetti's own illustrations, prepared specially for this book, these lessons move the reader from spontaneous drawings to single-panel strips and complicated multipage stories.
Through simple, creative exercises and assignments, Brunetti offers an unintimidating approach to a complex art form. He looks at the rhythms of storytelling, the challenges of character design, and the formal elements of comics while composing pages in his own iconic style and experimenting with a variety of tools, media, and approaches. By following the author's sophisticated and engaging perspective on the art of cartooning, aspiring cartoonists of all ages will hone their craft, create their personal style, and discover their own visual language.
