Reading Subjectivity: an Exploration of Reflexivity in Creative Nonfiction Comics

Share this

A presentation by Jay Rankin.

Early in Scott Chantler’s Two Generals, the narrator states, “All of this is true.” This line frames the comic as creative nonfiction and brings into question how “truth” is built in this and in other creative nonfiction comics. This presentation by Jay Rankin at the 2016 MSU Comics Forum examines Chantler’s work, as well as Joe Sacco’s comics journalism and how both cartoonists use reflexivity to reveal how their works are subjectively created.
