Anthologies are often difficult to analyze, because most of them wear the pragmatic limits of their creation like flimsy invisible dust jackets. It is not uncommon, I think, for editors to surrender to chance when putting these things together; you can hook up with however many contributors you want, and coordinate as best you can with those contributors you want to pursue, and reject, in the face of plenty, those submissions you can't use, but to an extent you are at the mercy of what you are given. And indeed, there are anthologies most succinctly described as 'what was given. Kramershowever, has long offered a pillowy slipstream on which the featherweight may drift behind; in this group I include myself. Who could forget the technological acuity of Kramers Ergot 4 Avodah Books, : production so sharp that you were bade not only to read stories-as-stories or factor drawing-as-drawing, but to consider textural components and the play of media — and, implicitly, the character of reproduction itself in art primed for mass distribution? You could ride that breeze all the way to Kramers Ergot 7 Buenaventura Press,a toddler-high harassment of bygone-Sunday-funnies dimensions, then crash bloodily to earth with Kramers Ergot 8 PictureBox Books,as gnashing a howl of despair at the futility of it all as I've seen from a high- profile comics anthology.

  • The Narratology of Comic Art
    The Narratology of Comic Art By placing comics in a lively dialogue with contemporary narrative theory, The Narratology of Comic Art builds a systematic theory of narrative comics, going beyond the typical focus on the Anglophone tra­ dition. This involves not just the exploration of those properties in com­ ics that can be meaningfully investigated with existing narrative theory, but an interpretive study of the potential in narratological concepts and analytical procedures that has hitherto been overlooked as well. This research monograph is, then, not an application of narratology in the medium and art of comics, but a revision of narratological concepts and approaches through the study of narrative comics. Thus, while narrato­ logy is brought to bear on comics, equally comics are brought to bear on narratology.

  • Eisner Awards Showcase Comics' Diversity with Wonder Woman, Wayne Brady, Sonny Liew and 'Saga'
    Los Angeles Times, July 22, 2017 Eisner Awards showcase comics' diversity with Wonder Woman, Wayne Brady, Sonny Liew and 'Saga' By Blake Hennon The message from Eisner Awards voters and winners was simple enough: Comics are for everybody, and can be made by anybody. But it’s a complicated world. Actor and comedian Wayne Brady, a surprise guest Friday at the Oscars of comics, recalled a Hollywood studio meeting at which a man was surprised he liked sci-fi because he was black. “Then I had to proceed to school him on every comic book that I’d read since I was 8, and every show that I’ve watched, every bad Marvel show — remember back in the day the horrible version of Spider-Man they had on with the terry cloth suit … and the Hulk, Lou Ferrigno, the green washing off of his face … the Captain America film with the guy who used to be a football player and sells cars out in the Valley? Oh, I know my stuff.” The “Let’s Make a Deal” host revealed he’s ready to tell comics stories of his own and is working on an imprint called Level Next with Michael Davis, who made great strides for minority superheroes in the 1990s with “Static Shock” and Milestone Media. Several of the biggest winners at the 29th annual Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, presented as part of Comic-Con International at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel, celebrated diversity. “Saga” artist Fiona Staples and writer Brian K. Vaughan’s bestselling Image sci-fi series about a couple from warring species won four awards.

As a result, many non-sequential and experimental forms of comics, especially in the field of ‘comics poetry’, have been ignored. Consequently, a new model for comics analysis is needed to encompass and address narrative, non-narrative, multi-linear, abstract and experimental developments within the form. In response to narrative assumptions and the lack of non-linear modes of analysis, my practice-led research proposes ‘segmentivity’ as an alternative model for comics criticism. This concept of ‘segmentivity’ stems from Rachel Blau DuPlessis’ attempt to distinguish the components of poetry from ‘narrativity’ and ‘performativity’. By assessing how poetic segments are employed in a myriad of narrative and non-narrative comics case studies, this model of segmentivity enables comics analysis to advance beyond sequential lexicons and limitations, ensuring the relevance of comics theory to contemporary practice. The critical survey of comics within this study includes examples of ‘comics poetry’ by Dino Buzzati, Kenneth Koch, Alan Moore, Warren Craghead as well as primary interviews with comics poetry practitioners Matt Madden, Bianca Stone, Michael Farrell and Alexander Rothman.
