Some chapters focus on comic superheroes, from lesser-known protagonists like Cyborg and Helen Killer to classics such as Batgirl and Batman; many more explore the amazing range of graphic narratives revolving around disability, covering famous names such as Alison Bechdel and Chris Ware, as well as less familiar artists like Keiko Tobe and Georgia Webber. The volume also offers a broad spectrum of represented disabilities: amputation, autism, blindness, deafness, depression, Huntington's, multiple sclerosis, obsessive-compulsive disorder, speech impairment, and spinal injury. A number of the essays collected here show how comics continue to implicate themselves in the objectification and marginalization of persons with disabilities, perpetuating stale stereotypes and stigmas. At the same time, others stress how this medium simultaneously offers unique potential for transforming our understanding of disability in truly profound ways. 410 0$aLiterary disability studies. 606 $aComic books, strips, etc$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGraphic novels$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPeople with disabilities in literature 615 0$aComic books, strips, etc.$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGraphic novels$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPeople with disabilities in literature. 676 $a741.5/9 702 $aFoss$b Chris$f1963- 702 $aGray$b Jonathan W. 702 $aWhalen$b Zach$f1979- 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255243103321 996 $aDisability in Comic Books and Graphic Narratives$92533319 997 $aUNINA
