An examination of the narrative and pictorial qualities of comics
and how these help comics to communicate and create meaning. In
Narrative Structure in Comics: Making Sense of Fragments, Barbara
Postema seeks to explain how comics communicate and create meaning,
with an emphasis on two aspects of comics. She first examines the
pictorial quality ofcomics, which receives more emphasis than
verbal/textual elements. Her second focus is upon the storytelling
and narrative qualities of comics, as well as the literary
explorations they provide. The "narrative structure" refersto the
potential of images, the story telling capacities of panels, and
the sequence of panels, in addition to the more traditional
narratological concepts. Overall, the author presents a credible
rationale for the way in which comics structure their narratives.
At every level of communication, comics rely on gaps or absences to
create meaning and guide the reader to a meaningful experience. RIT
Press is pleased to announce Narrative Structure in Comics as the
first book published in its Comics Monograph Series. BARBARA
POSTEMA is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Ryerson University in
Toronto, where she is working on a project about wordless comics.
She has published several articles in the International Journal of
Comic Art.
