On Comics and Grief
Fragmented and hybrid in style, On Comics and Grief examines a year in comic book publishing and the author's grief surrounding his mother's death. This book connects grief, memory, nostalgia, personal history, theory, and multiple lines of comics studies inquiry in relation to the comic books of 1976.
Structured around a year of comic books with a cover date of 1976, the year the author turned ten, the book is divided into an Introduction plus twelve sections, each a month of the publishing year. Two comic books are highlighted each month and examined through the interwoven lenses of creative nonfiction and comics studies. Through these twenty-four comics, the book addresses the major comic book publishers and virtually all genres of comics published in 1976.
By pushing the ways in which the personal is used in comics studies, combining different modes of writing, and embracing a fragmentary style, the book explores what is possible in academic writing in general and comics studies in particular. On Comics and Grief both acts as a way for the author to process his grief and uses grief as a way to think about the comics themselves through the emotions and personal connections that underlie the work we do as scholars.

COVID Chronicles
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to its knees.
When we weren't sheltering in place, we were advised to wear masks,
wash our hands, and practice social distancing. We watched in
horror as medical personnel worked around the clock to care for the
sick and dying. Businesses were shuttered, travel stopped, workers
were furloughed, and markets dropped. And people continued to
die.
Amid all this uncertainty, writers and artists from around the
world continued to create comics, commenting directly on how
individuals, societies, governments, and markets reacted to the
worldwide crisis. COVID Chronicles: A Comics Anthology
collects more than sixty such short comics from a diverse set of
creators, including indie powerhouses, mainstream artists, Ignatz
and Eisner Award winners, and media cartoonists. In narrative
styles ranging from realistic to fantastic, they tell stories about
adjusting to working from home, homeschooling their kids, missing
birthdays and weddings, and being afraid just to leave the house.
They probe the failures of government leaders and the social safety
net. They dig into the racial bias and systemic inequities that
this pandemic helped bring to light. We see what it's like to get
the virus and live to tell about it, or to stand by helplessly as a
loved one passes.
At times heartbreaking and at others hopeful and humorous, these
comics express the anger, anxiety, fear, and bewilderment we feel
in the era of COVID-19. Above all, they highlight the power of art
and community to help us make sense of a world in crisis, reminding
us that we are truly all in this together.
The comics in this collection have been generously donated by
their creators. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this
volume are being donated by the publisher to the Book Industry
Charitable Foundation (Binc) in support of comics shops,
bookstores, and their employees who have been adversely affected by
the pandemic.

An Info Pro's Guide to Graphic Medicine
The PathoGraphics website states, \"Illness and disability are very personal matters: they are located in individual bodies, connected to specific life stories, and may even be difficult to communicate, as in the cases of pain or grief.\" As one way to help tell those stories, a genre of medical/health-related graphic literature known as graphic medicine is emerging to educate, communicate, and document the discourse of healthcare through the medium of comics.

Sunshine
\"When Jarrett J. Krosoczka was in high school, he was part of a program that sent students to be counselors at a camp for seriously ill kids and their families. Going into it, Jarrett was worried: Wouldn't it be depressing, to be around kids facing such a serious struggle? Wouldn't it be grim? But instead of the shadow of death, Jarrett found something else at Camp Sunshine: the hope and determination that gets people through the most troubled of times. Not only was he subject to some of the usual rituals that come with being a camp counselor (wilderness challenges, spooky campfire stories, an extremely stinky mascot costume), but he also got a chance to meet some extraordinary kids facing extraordinary circumstances. He learned about the captivity of illness, for sure but he also learned about the freedom a safe space can bring\"-- Provided by publisher
