    Description
    This class will examine the emergence of the graphic novel, from the comics of the 1920s, the super hero novels of the 1950s, anime and manga to the current crop of diverse novels gone graphic. It will look at the multicultural nature of the novels, with new novels being produced in a variety of countries; and its subversive intentions.
