Course Description
In this course we will look at the graphic novel as going beyond the comic book, in theme and artistic representation. Not only will we look at the super hero, we will also look at horror, biography, manga and history. They all will be represented in the form unique to the graphic novel. This is not the DC and Marvel comics you might read off the local racks, this is so much more. Comic Book Nation and Understanding Comics will be the background texts. The novels and non fiction texts include: The Watchmen, 30 Days of Night, Maus 1, Captain America: The New Deal, The Ring, Crumb's: Introducing Kafka, Neil Gaiman's The Sandman: Endless Nights others TBA.
