Graphic narratives are one of the world's great art forms, but
graphic novels and comics from Europe and the United States
dominate scholarly conversations about them. Building upon the
little extant scholarship on graphic narratives from the Global
South, this collection moves beyond a narrow Western approach to
this quickly expanding field. By focusing on texts from the Middle
East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia, these essays expand the
study of graphic narratives to a global scale. Graphic Novels and
Comics as World Literature is also interested in how these texts
engage with, fit in with, or complicate notions of World
Literature. The larger theoretical framework of World Literature is
joined with the postcolonial, decolonial, Global South, and similar
approaches that argue explicitly or implicitly for the viability of
non-Western graphic narratives on their own terms. Ultimately, this
collection explores the ways that the unique formal qualities of
graphic narratives from the Global South intersect with issues
facing the study of international literatures, such as translation,
commodification, circulation, Orientalism, and many others.
