Andrés Romero-Jódar is an Independent Scholar. This book provides a link between the contemporary criticism of Trauma Studies and the increasingly important world of comic books and graphic novels.
Works by Paul Hornschemeier, Joe Sacco, Art Spiegelman, and Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons will be considered as illustrative examples of the representation of individual, collective, and political traumas.
This book seeks to analyze this trend through the consideration of five influential graphic novels in English. Graphic novels, free at last from long decades of stern censorship, helped explore these topics by developing a new subgenre: the trauma graphic novel. The end of the twentieth century and the turn of the new millennium witnessed an unprecedented flood of traumatic narratives and testimonies of suffering in literature and the arts.
