As major universities and professional organizations like the
Poynter Institute have begun to examine graphic nonfiction from a
critical perspective, new courses are emerging that give student
writers and artists the tools to tell their own nonfiction stories
in comics form. Nonfiction Comics is the first textbook to bring
these tools and techniques together in a single volume. Most
novices who first attempt the form arrive at it from a background
of journalism or art, meaning they arrive with at least one deficit
in the required skill set. Journalists, for example, typically have
had little training in illustration. Artists and designers may not
know how to conduct interviews or to avoid the potential legal
pitfalls of telling the personal stories of real people. This book
aims to fill in the gaps providing student journalists, artists,
designers, creative writers, web producers and others the tools
they need to tell stories visually and graphically.
Based on the authors' popular team-taught nonfiction comics
course, Nonfiction Comics teaches readers how to create a graphic
nonfiction story from start to finish, providing guidance on:
- how to find the story and how to find and utilize appropriate
facts and visuals;
- nonfiction narrative techniques
- artist's tools and techniques
- print, digital, and multimedia production
- legal and ethical considerations
Interviews with well-known nonfiction comics creators--showcased
in the book and on the book's companion website--will discuss best
practice and offer readers inspiration to begin creating their own
work.
