Despite the boom in scholarship in both Comics Studies and Memory
Studies, the two fields rarely interact-especially with issues
beyond the representation of traumatic and autobiographical
memories in comics. With a focus on the roles played by styles and
archives-in their physical and metaphorical manifestations-this
edited volume offers an original intervention, highlighting several
novel ways of thinking about comics and memory as comics memory.
Bringing together scholars as well as cultural actors, the
contributions combine studies on European and North American comics
and offer a representative overview of the main comics genres and
forms, including superheroes, Westerns, newspaper comics, diary
comics, comics reportage and alternative comics. In considering the
many manifestations of memory in comics as well as the functioning
and influence of institutions, public and private practices, the
book exemplifies new possibilities for understanding the complex
entanglements of memory and comics.
