        Challenging Genres

        Comics and Graphic Novels

        by Thomas, P. L.

        Comic books achieved almost immediate popularity and profitability when they were first introduced in the U.S. throughout the late 1930s and early 1940s. But comic books soon suffered attacks concerning the quality of this new genre/medium combining text and artwork. With the rise of graphic novels in the mid-1980s and the adaptation of comics to films in the twenty-first century, comics and graphic novels have gained more respect as craft and text—called "sequential art" by foundational legend Will Eisner—but the genre/medium remains marginalized by educators, parents, and the public. Challenging Genres: Comic Books and Graphic Novels offers educators, students, parents, and comic book readers and collectors a comprehensive exploration of comics/graphic novels as a challenging genre/medium. This volume presents a history of comic books/graphic novels, an argument for valuing the genre/medium, and several chapters devoted to examining all subgenres of comics/graphic novels. Readers will discover key comics, graphic novels, and film adaptations suitable for the classroom—and for anyone serious about high quality texts. Further, this volume places comics/graphic novels within our growing understanding of multiliteracies and critical literacy.

        In Living Memory

        by Susana de Murga

        Mariano is headed to the adventure of his dreams: running uphill with his motorcycle, in the company of his friends and sing out loud as the engines roar. However, as his bliss begins, he and a group of other people gets kidnapped. The criminals hurt and humiliate all of their victims and demand large amounts of money as ransoms. Slowly, all the victims are released; all except for Mariano, who will not believe what he must do in order to survive. The long walk from where he is taken to the place in which he is held captive makes Mariano remember something his mind had kept locked away, an abuse he suffered as a child of which he had never spoken. Until now. Thus, he finds himself to be twice captured: once physically, and once emotionally.
