From Comic Strips to Graphic Novels
This essay collection examines the theory and history of graphic narrative – realized in various different formats, including comic strips, comic books, and graphic novels – as one of the most interesting and versatile forms of storytelling in contemporary media culture. The contributions assembled in this volume test the applicability of narratological concepts to graphic narrative, examine aspects of graphic narrative beyond the 'single work, ' consider the development of particular narrative strategies within individual genres, and trace the forms and functions of graphic narrative across cultures. Analyzing a wide range of texts, genres, and narrative strategies from both theoretical and historical perspectives, the international group of scholars gathered here offers state-of-the-art research on graphic narrative in the context of an increasingly postclassical and transmedial narratology.

Show Me Where It Hurts
In Show Me Where It Hurts , Monica Chiu argues that
graphic pathography-long-form comics by and about subjects who
suffer from disease or are impaired-re-vitalizes and re-visions
various negatively affected corporeal states through hand-drawn
images. By the body and for the body, the medium is subversive and
reparative, and it stands in contradistinction to clinical accounts
of illness that tend to disembody or objectify the subject.
Employing affect theory, spatial theory, vital materialism, and
approaches from race and ethnic studies, women and gender studies,
disability studies, and comics studies, Chiu provides readings of
recently published graphic pathography. Chiu argues that these
kinds of subjective graphic stories, by virtue of their narrative
and descriptive strengths, provide a form of resistance to the
authoritative voice of biomedicine and serve as a tool to foster
important change in the face of social and economic inequities when
it comes to questions of health and healthcare. Show Me Where
It Hurts reads what already has been manifested on the comics
page and invites more of what demands expression.
Pathbreaking and provocative, this book will appeal to scholars
and students of the medical humanities, comics studies, race and
ethnic studies, disability studies, and women and gender
studies.

Litcomix
Critical studies of the graphic novel have often employed
methodologies taken from film theory and art criticism. Yet, as
graphic novels from Maus to Watchmen have
entered the literary canon, perhaps the time has come to
develop theories for interpreting and evaluating graphic novels
that are drawn from classic models of literary theory and
criticism. Using the methodology of Georg Lukács and his detailed
defense of literary realism as a socially embedded practice,
Litcomix tackles difficult questions about reading graphic
novels as literature. What critical standards should we use to
measure the quality of a graphic novel? How does the genre
contribute to our understanding of ourselves and the world? What
qualities distinguish it from other forms of literature?
LitComix hones its theoretical approach through case
studies taken from across the diverse world of comics, from
Yoshihiro Tatsumi's groundbreaking manga to the Hernandez Brothers'
influential alt-comix. Whether looking at graphic novel adaptations
of Proust or considering how Jack Kirby's use of intertextuality
makes him the Balzac of comics, this study offers fresh
perspectives on how we might appreciate graphic novels as
literature.

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.

BOOK
Graphic Memories of the Civil Rights Movement
The history of America’s civil rights movement is marked by narratives that we hear retold again and again. This has relegated many key figures and turning points to the margins, but graphic novels and graphic memoirs present an opportunity to push against the consensus and create a more complete history. Graphic Memories of the Civil Rights Movement showcases five vivid examples of this: Ho Che Anderson's King (2005), which complicates the standard biography of Martin Luther King Jr.; Congressman John Lewis's three-volume memoir, March (2013–2016); Darkroom (2012), by Lila Quintero Weaver, in which the author recalls her Argentinian father’s participation in the movement and her childhood as an immigrant in the South; the bestseller The Silence of Our Friends, by Mark Long, Jim Demonakos, and Nate Powell (2012), set in Houston's Third Ward in 1967; and Howard Cruse's Stuck Rubber Baby (1995), whose protagonist is a closeted gay man involved in the movement. In choosing these five works, Jorge Santos also explores how this medium allows readers to participate in collective memory making, and what the books reveal about the process by which history is (re)told, (re)produced, and (re)narrativized. Concluding the work is Santos’s interview with Ho Che Anderson.
