  • English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada
    Drawing on the Margins of History: English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada by Kevin Ziegler A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Kevin Ziegler 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This study analyzes the techniques that Canadian comics life writers develop to construct personal histories. I examine a broad selection of texts including graphic autobiography, biography, memoir, and diary in order to argue that writers and readers can, through these graphic narratives, engage with an eclectic and eccentric understanding of Canadian historical subjects. Contemporary Canadian comics are important for Canadian literature and life writing because they acknowledge the importance of contemporary urban and marginal subcultures and function as representations of people who occasionally experience economic scarcity. I focus on stories of “ordinary” people because their stories have often been excluded from accounts of Canadian public life and cultural history. Following the example of Barbara Godard, Heather Murray, and Roxanne Rimstead, I re- evaluate Canadian literatures by considering the importance of marginal literary products. Canadian comics authors rarely construct narratives about representative figures standing in place of and speaking for a broad community; instead, they create what Murray calls “history with a human face . the face of the daily, the ordinary” (“Literary History as Microhistory” 411).

    Words and Music... er, Images By Karen Green Friday April 3, 2009 09:00:00 am Our columnists are independent writers who choose subjects and write without editorial input from comiXology. The opinions expressed are the columnist's, and do not represent the opinion of comiXology. I know I've brought this up before, and lord knows it's been hashed over to hell-and-gone by everyone from bloggers to scholars to industry professionals, but let's all say it together one more time: comics tell a story via sequential art in which text and images are inextricably intertwined. (Well, except when there are no words. But let's not cloud the issue, eh?) Will Eisner put it succinctly, in his book Comics & Sequential Art: comics are "the arrangement of pictures or images and words to narrate a story or dramatize an idea." That seems pretty straightforward, right? Not such a challenging concept? I mean, that the words can't exist without the images or the images without the words? Not so difficult to comprehend? Not too arcane? And yet . In January of 2008, Groundwood Books released a graphic novel called Skim, written by Mariko Tamaki and drawn by Jillian Tamaki. The Tamakis are cousins from Canada, although Jillian now lives here in New York. In October, Skimwas nominated for the Governor General's Literary Award, a hugely prestigious Canadian prize (Skim was nominated in the Children's Literature category, which is grounds for an entirely different, and parenthetical, rant; see below). Or, to be more precise, Mariko Tamaki alone was nominated.

    1 Carleton University Fall 2018 Department of English ENGL 3011A: Comics and Graphic Novels Prerequisite(s): third-year standing or permission of the department Wednesday and Friday / 2:35 p.m.-3:55pm Location: 280 University Center *confirm meeting place on Carleton Central prior to the first class* Instructor: B. Johnson Email: [email protected] Office: 1917 Dunton Tower Phone: (613) 520-2600 ext. 2331 Office Hours: Tuesdays 1:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m. Course Description This course has several broad goals, foremost among them is to guide students towards a fuller, richer, more pleasurable, more knowledgeable, and more intellectually stimulating experience of reading comics. To this end, the course will begin with a substantial introduction to the formal and technical dimensions of comics as a medium of expression. We will learn about how elements like the comic panel and the comic page function as systems of meaning and how visual and verbal systems of signification converge and interact within graphic space. We will develop our skills in visual literacy and examine some of the ways that comic narratives have shaped but also challenged the conventions of the medium across a very broad range of visual styles, genres, and aesthetic projects. Once we have developed some preliminary facility with the formal elements and technical language of comics, we will begin to pursue the secondary goals of the course in greater detail: (1) developing a sense of the material and cultural history of North American comics and (2) developing a sense of the emergent academic field of comic studies.

  • Why Graphic Novels?
    Why Graphic Novels? Graphic novels may be a new format for your store, but they’re still all about telling stories. The way graphic novels tell their stories – with integrated words and pictures – looks different from traditional novels, poetry, plays, and picture books, but the stories they tell have the same hearts. Bone, by Jeff Smith, is a fantastical adventure with a monstrous villain and endearing heroes, like Harry Potter. American Born Chinese, by Gene Luen Yang, is a coming-of-age novel, like Catcher in the Rye. Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel, is a powerful memoir, like Running With Scissors. When people ask, ‘why graphic novels?’ the easiest answer you can give is, graphic novels tell stories that are just as scary and funny and powerful and heartwarming as prose. Here are two more sophisticated answers you can also try out. Education Graphic novels are a great way to go for kids making the transition from image-centric books to more text-based books, and for adults just learning English. Because of the combination of image and text in a graphic novel, readers get visual clues about what’s going on in the story even if their vocabulary isn’t quite up to all the words yet. And because graphic novels are told as a series of panels, reading graphic novels also forces readers to think and become actively involved each time they move between one panel and the next. What’s happening in that space? How do the story and the characters get from panel 1 to panel 2? Both television and the internet play a large part in our culture – images are becoming more and more integrated into everyone’s everyday life.

Drawn & Quarterly: Twenty-Five Years of Contemporary Cartooning, Comics, and Graphic Novels is a six hundred- page thank-you letter to the cartoonists whose steadfast belief in a Canadian micro-publisher never wavered. In 1989, a prescient Chris Oliveros created D+Q with a simple mandate–to publish the world’s best cartoonists. Thanks to his taste-making visual acumen and the sup- port of over fifty cartoonists from the past two decades, D+Q has grown from an annual stapled anthology into one of the world’s leading graphic novel publishers. With hundreds of pages of comics by Drawn & Quarterly cartoonists, D+Q: 25 features new work by Kate Beaton, Chester Brown, Michael DeForge, Tom Gauld, Miriam Katin, Rutu Modan, James Sturm, Jillian Tamaki, Yoshihiro Tatsumi alongside rare and never-before- seen work from Guy Delisle, Debbie Dreschler, Julie Doucet, John Porcellino, Art Spiegelman, and Adrian Tomine. Editor Tom Devlin digs into the company archives for rare photographs, correspondence, and comics; assembles biographies, personal reminiscences, and interviews with key D+Q staff; and curates essays by Margaret Atwood, Daniel Handler, Sheila Heti, Jonathan Lethem, Deb Olin-Unferth, Heather O’Neill, Chris Ware, and noted comics scholars. D+Q: 25 is the rare chance to witness a literary movement in progress; how a group of dedicated artists and their publisher changed the future of a century-old medium.
