This edited collection explores how the relationship between comic
art and feminism has been shaped by global, transnational, and
local trends, curating analyses of multinational comic art that
encompass themes of gender, sexuality, power, vulnerability,
assault, abuse, taboo, and trauma. The chapters illuminate in turn
the defining features of the aesthetics, materiality, and thematic
content of their source material - often expressed with humorous
undertones of self-reflection or social criticism - as well as
recurring strategies of visualising and narrating female
experiences. Broadening the research perspective of feminist comics
to include national comics cultures peripheral to the cultural
centers of Anglo-American, Franco-Belgian, and Japanese comics, the
anthology explores how the dominant narrative or history of
canonical works can be challenged or deconstructed by local
histories of comics and feminism and their transnational
connections, and how local histories complement or challenge the
current understanding of the relationship between feminism and
comic art. This is an essential collection for scholars and
students in comics studies, women and gender studies, media
studies, and literature.
