Using key examples, this volume reviews the historical development of various subgenres within the graphic novel tradition and examines how graphic novelists have created multiple and different accounts of the American experience, including that of African American, Asian American, Jewish, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ communities. Reading the American graphic novel opens a debate on how major works have changed the idea of America from that once found in the quintessential action or superhero comics to show new, different, intimate accounts of historical change as well as social and individual, personal experience. It guides readers through the theoretical text-image scholarship to explain the meaning of the complex borderlines between graphic novels, comics, newspaper strips, caricature, literature, and art.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBContributor: Jan Baetens (Edited by), Hugo Frey (Edited by), Fabrice Leroy (Edited by)Genre: Literary CriticismTopic: Arts & PhotographyBook Series: Cambridge Companions to LiteratureItem Weight: 487gItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 20mmAuthor: Jan BaetensRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
