Comics as contemporary literature

Asterios Polyp was such an interesting read. I've honestly never seen anything like it, especially with the art style that is beautifully illustrated. The way it's drawn holds so much character with the use of geometrical shapes and rough lines, that within itself tells a story. The main character is kind of a dick but when he encounters someone who just doesn't take he's treatment their dynamic is gold. It's kind of weird in a way how the story was told by his unborn twin brother, it kind of makes you wonder what went thru the creators head.  Overall I really enjoyed the story but the art was my main motivator to keep on reading. I would of thought that such an experimental approach when drawing the different characters would make them clash with each other but in many ways they kind mixed in a very harmonious way. Glad I read this.

Maus and the legitimation of the graphic novel

Reading Maus really opened my eyes to how prejudice and its normalization in society could potentially turn into something devastating like a massive genocide. Vladek's story held no punches in regards to how real and honest it was. With the depictions of Americans as dogs and the polish people as pigs, Spiegelman didn't care about being politically correct and he wasn't trying to be offensive either, he simply recounted what happened to his father thru his own father's perspective. A very black and white and full of stereotypes point of view. I'm kind of afraid of how the political climate is looking now a days and this story is a scary reminder that racism in any shape or form in a collective and the slow acceptance of it could lead to something  horrible. Overall Maus was a scary read and I'm not really sure if could come back to it but I really think it's a necessary read.

Manga and the Japanese comics tradition

For this week a read up on some of Phoenix and Buddha by Osamu Tezuka. I gotta say his art style really appeals to me, which is weird because usually i'm not really fond of cute looking art but his holds so much expression and character movement that it's hard not to like it. I remember reading some of Black jack when I was a kid, which was more of an episodic type story. But all of these stories kind of perpetuate the importance of life in all forms. It was crazy to me when I heard Osamu Tazuka had a medical background, something that seems so practical with no opening for creativity. I'm glad he didn't stick with medicine, overall I really liked these stories, and I was surprised to see that even though they're kind of old they don't seem dated at all.

Eisner and Thompson

For this week I read Blankets written and illustrated by Craig Thompson. I really enjoyed how at the beginning the story portrayed what it felt like to be an average middle schooler. Struggling thru school trying to go unnoticed while still wanting to be popular. I really liked how the illustrations looked kind of scratchy and how some of the characters proportions and sizes were exaggerated to look more intimidating or submissive. I really enjoyed the art of this book overall.
