Coles Queer Comics: A Critical Guide at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
An international and intersectional introduction mapping the history, impact, key critical issues and seminal texts of the genre, Queer Comics looks at queer creators and queer content in graphic narratives beyond . Not advocating for a canon but instead offering new avenues for exploration beyond what has thus far been very US-focused, this book surveys the queer experience, looks at the genre as a queering of an already queer medium and dives into how it can speak to all communities. Accessible and inclusive in the easy-to-navigate structure of the Bloomsbury Comics Studies series, the book covers: - A broader cultural landscape beyond American underground comix including manga, pornography, Tijuana Bibles, contemporary webcomics, zines, children's and YA comics and adult graphic memoirs. - key texts by creators such as Alison Bechdel, Howard Cruise, Yamaji Ebine, Crystal Frasier, Megan Rose Gedris, Kay O'Neill, Jem Yoshioka and Tab Kimpton among many others - Themes from censorship, stereotypes and queer coding to explicit material and reclaiming the queer monster - Critical ideas linked to the genre, including visibility and erasure, binaries, self and mainstream publishing. Taking a lead from queer and comics studies, the book also features a glossary of crucial terms and resources for further reading.
