Studies in Comics and Graphic Novels

Catalog description

Graphic literature is a fresh and fast-growing form in America today. However, unlike long-established literary forms, it is only beginning to receive the attention it deserves. Students will read and analyze comics and graphic novels for adults and teenagers and explore experimental forms of graphic storytelling in critically-acclaimed works such as Fun Home, March, and Radioactive, and in excerpts from other pieces. Guides such as the graphic manual How to Read Nancy will help students understand and evaluate graphic work as a literary form.
