The most up-to-date critical guide mapping the history, impact, key
critical issues, and seminal texts of the genre, Jewish Comics and
Graphic Narratives interrogates what makes a work a "Jewish graphic
narrative", and explores the form's diverse facets to orient
readers to the richness and complexity of Jewish graphic
storytelling. Accessible but comprehensive and in an
easy-to-navigate format, the book covers such topics as: - The
history of the genre in the US and Israel - and its relationship to
superheroes, Underground Comix, and Jewish literature - Social and
cultural discussions surrounding the legitimization of graphic
representation as sites of trauma, understandings of gender,
mixed-media in Jewish graphic novels, and the study of these works
in the classroom - Critical explorations of graphic narratives
about the Holocaust, Israel, the diasporic experience, Judaism, and
autobiography and memoir - The works of Will Eisner, Ilana Zeffren,
James Sturm, Joann Sfar, JT Waldman, Michel Kichka, Sarah Glidden,
Rutu Modan, and Art Spiegelman and such narratives as X Men, Anne
Frank's Diary, and Maus Jewish Comics and Graphic Novels includes
an appendix of relevant works sorted by genre, a glossary of
crucial critical terms, and close readings of key texts to help
students and readers develop their understanding of the genre and
pursue independent study.
