This issue shines the spotlight on feminist discourse in comics and graphic novels. As a medium, comics exist in a liminal space between literature and visual art. They tell stories that tend to unfold within the tension between words—or even lack thereof—and pictures. Unlike film or television, they allow us to follow their narratives at our chosen speed. Some argue that comics are the most versatile media because they represent the broadest of churches, from charcoal sketches to watercolour paintings, from newspaper strips and satirical cartoons to prestige hardback volumes (and all points in between).
