Conflict and trauma remain among the most prevalent themes in film
and literature. Comics has never avoided such narratives, and
comics artists are writing them in ways that are both different
from and complementary to literature and film. Harriet E. H. Earle
brings together two distinct areas of research-trauma studies and
comics studies-to provide a new interpretation of a long-standing
theme. Focusing on representations of conflict in American comics
after the Vietnam War, Earle claims that the comics form is
uniquely able to show traumatic experience by representing events
as viscerally as possible. Using texts from across the form and
placing mainstream superhero comics alongside alternative and art
comics, Earle suggests that comics are the ideal artistic
representation of trauma. Because comics bridge the gap between the
visual and the written, they represent such complicated narratives
as loss and trauma in unique ways, particularly through the
manipulation of time and experience. Comics can fold time and
confront traumatic events, be they personal or shared, through a
myriad of both literary and visual devices. As a result, comics can
represent trauma in ways that are unavailable to other narrative
and artistic forms. With themes such as dreams and mourning, Earle
concentrates on trauma in American comics after the Vietnam War.
Examples include Alissa Torres's American Widow, Doug Murray's The
'Nam, and Art Spiegelman's much-lauded Maus. These works pair with
ideas from a wide range of thinkers, including Sigmund Freud,
Mikhail Bakhtin, and Fredric Jameson, as well as contemporary
trauma theory and clinical psychology. Through these examples and
others, Comics, Trauma, and the New Art of War proves that comics
open up new avenues to explore personal and public trauma in
extraordinary, necessary ways.
