We will read - and create - a range of examples of the form, from biography to memoir, from history to journalism. Through our readings and exercises, we will discuss the uniquely powerful ways comics connect with readers, and the different ways the comics form allows for the treatment of "truth." We'll unpack the "comics process" and devote class time to various brainstorming and collaborative exercises that have been proven useful in producing strong comics work. Early in the semester you will formulate a nonfiction comics project which you will work on throughout the term, according to an individual plan. Please bring writing and drawing materials - whichever ones you're most comfortable with. Readings for the course include comics by Scott McCloud, Matt Madden, Alison Bechdel, Art Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi, G.B. Tran, Raina Telgemeier, Joe Sacco, Harvey Pekar, Tom Hart, Craig Thompson, Dan Archer, Guibert & Lefevre, and others.
