Analyzing the way that recent works of graphic narrative use the comics form to engage with the “problem” of reproduction, Shiamin Kwa’s
reminds us that the mode of production and the manner in which we perceive comics are often quite similar to the stories they tell.
considers the dual notions of reproduction, mechanical as well as biological, and explores how comics are works of reproduction that embed questions about the nature of reproduction itself. Through close readings of the comics
by Emil Ferris,
by Gareth Brookes,
series by Conor Stechschulte,
by Nick Drnaso, and
by Brecht Evens,
shows how these comics makers push the limits of different ideas of “reproduction” in strikingly different ways. Kwa suggests that reading and thinking about books like these, that push us to engage with these complicated questions, teaches us how to become better readers.
