ENG 443 - Reading with Pictures: Graphic Novels and Comics as Literature

3 credits
From prehistoric cave paintings to the daily "funnies" to animated cartoon films and television, storytelling—with visual images—has an extensive historical connection to popular culture. The artistically complex Graphic Novel, a subgenre of sequential art, is part of this long tradition and, like its older relative the Comic Book, it interweaves and negotiates two distinct sign systems, the image and the word, to both entertain and communicate a narrative. In this course, frame by frame, students will learn how to read, translate, and analyze these cultural artifacts while discussing how they are created, how they operate, and how they contribute meaning to the ongoing literary conversation.
