Hi Gunnar,
Understanding Comics, it looks great. Not a connection I would have made.
Comics are an exciting avenue. There is a meaningful tension between the sequential cells, the page spreads, and the story as a whole, fracturing the narrative (and time) in complex ways. Not to mention the layered readings demanded of the integrated text and image. And so much more. There's lots to unpack.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Best,
Rob

Could anyone recommend books/papers on this topic? I'm specifically interested in the performance of alternative temporalities in these visual artworks, with theoretical insight.
