Experiencing Comics: An Introduction to Reading, Discussing, and
Creating Comics shows students how to critically examine the craft
and storytelling elements found inside a graphic novel or comic and
spotlights groundbreaking work by comics creators and scholars from
underrepresented and diverse backgrounds. This accessible,
introductory guide to comics is divided into four chapters. Chapter
one discusses how a comic is made and introduces students to the
unique form and structure of comics, demonstrating how panels,
splash pages, and word balloons are used to tell a story. Chapter
two encourages students to apply literary theory and social
politics to the world of comics to encourage discussions of comics
within a larger cultural context. Chapter three explores the
history of comics and introduces students to significant movements
and moments in comics history in the United States. The final
chapter provides students with comic-making activities so they can
practice the craft and storytelling elements discussed throughout
the book. Students will gain first-hand insight from comics
professionals and practitioners through interviews with creators,
artists, writers, anthology editors, scholars, and comics
enthusiasts such as: John Jennings, Gene Luen Yang, Ramzi Fawaz,
Lucy Knisley, Ronald Wimberly, Sonny Liew, Nilah Magruder, Belle
Yang, Andi Santagata, Keith Chow, Yumi Sakugawa, Ryan North, Taneka
Stotts, Fred Van Lente, Jeff Yang, MariNaomi, Deborah Elizabeth
Whaley, Keith Sicat, Alexander Rothman, Glynnes Pruett, Danica
Novgorodoff, Jenny Lin, Betsy Gomez, Sophie Goldstein, Ashanti
Fortson, Leela Corman, Jeffrey A. Brown, Rina Ayuyang, and more.
The second edition features fresh content on a variety of genres in
comics, such as poetry, autographical, and horror comics. The text
also includes new coverage on A.B.O. Comix, a collective that seeks
to amplify the voices of incarcerated queer people through the
medium of comics. Experiencing Comics is an excellent resource for
courses in creative writing or comparative literature that focus
specifically on graphic novels and comics. It can also be used in
gender studies, ethnic studies, and sexuality courses.
