Course Description:
Graphic novels, or sequential art, are one of the world’s great storytelling media, but it is only in recent years that the genre has been critically recognized as a major form of communication and contemporary creative arts. ENG 368 explores the graphic novel’s joint ancestry in the fine arts and literature. Students will develop the critical skills necessary to read and understand this deceptively complex medium, focusing on the themes of family, childhood, coming of age, politics, sexuality, class, illness, violence, horror, the monster, and cultural/ethnic diversity. Considerable attention will be given to how words and images interact to create meaningful narrative structure and spatial visualization in graphic novels.
