This book foregrounds the figure of the perpetrator in a selection
of British, American, and Canadian comics and explores questions
related to remembrance, justice, and historical debt. Its primary
focus is on works that deliberately estrange the figure of the
perpetrator-through fantasy, absurdism, formal ambiguity, or
provocative rewriting-and thus allow readers to engage anew with
the history of genocide, mass murder, and sexual violence. This
book is particularly interested in the ethical space such an
engagement calls into being: in its ability to allow us to ponder
the privilege many of us now enjoy, the gross historical injustices
that have secured it, and the debt we owe to people long dead.
