It was almost 20 years ago and I didn't even think or appreciate how innovative she was at the time. But, I did find that I loved it so much. I wish I remembered who she was so I could thank her all these years later! By the way, the book was Maus!Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929369424588700011.post-17942622724891373682015-04-08T23:38:11.072-05:002015-04-08T23:38:11.072-05:00Such a great post.

I read Understanding Comics last year and it really gave me a new perspective on reading comics. Even the spaces between panels can signify so much! It's an amazing medium and I'm glad there are teachers out there who are able to talk about comics.Belle Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112894169429729531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929369424588700011.post-14950403479969232015-04-07T09:17:38.698-05:002015-04-07T09:17:38.698-05:00Alex - it really depends on the type of class.

I like to have a course question to frame any readings around, but I've really been thinking lately of a comics-only course, and of course, that would look very different. To be honest, I've been reading so many lately, that I'm not quite sure which I'd include, though I will say that Super Spy has made quite an impression on me. Read it if you haven't. You could take a look at the art of the memoir because there are some crazy good ones out there - Fun Home and Stitches both come to mind (and they'd pair well with Persepolis). <br /><br />But if/when I develop the class, I will definitely post about it. pickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906861942472773405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929369424588700011.post-70302836102992086802015-04-07T05:12:34.317-05:002015-04-07T05:12:34.317-05:00Go Jen, fighting the good fight!

Persepolis was definitely a game changer for me in that regard. :) Thanks for sharing all of these insights!
