Book Summary

Graphic novels are now appearing in a great variety of courses: composition, literature, drama, popular culture, travel, art, translation. The thirty-four essays in this volume explore issues that the new art form has posed for teachers at the university level. Among the subjects addressed are * terminology (graphic narrative vs. sequential art, comics vs. comix) * the three outstanding comics-producing cultures today: the American, the Japanese (manga), and the Franco-Belgian (the bande dessinée) * the differences between the techniques of graphic narrative and prose narrative,and between the reading patterns for each * the connections between the graphic novel and film * the lives of the new genre's practitioners (e.g., Robert Crumb, Harvey Pekar) * women's contributions to the field (e.g., Lynda Barry) * how the graphic novel has been used to probe difficult moments in history (the Holocaust, 9/11), deal with social and racial injustice, and voice political satire * postmodernism in the graphic novel (e.g., in the work of Chris Ware) * how the American superhero developed in the Depression and World War II * comix and the 1960s counterculture * the challenges of teaching graphic novels that contain violence and sexual content The volume concludes with a selected bibliography of the graphic novel and sequential art.
