Overview
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.
