Comic Fans - Tumblr Posts

Hi! Thank you for such an in-depth and thoughtful reply! ‘Stitches’ and ‘Velvet Glove’ both sounds as if they will be extremely useful, thank you! I’ll give the others a look too, the wordless work of Rafael Sica looks particularly interesting :) All the best, Will xx

Hi! I'm a big fan of 'Building Stories' here, I'm a literature student looking either for comics that use the form/medium in a unique and innovative way to express their narratives, OR for comics that touch upon the themes of monstrosity and deformity, (I have so far focused on 'Epileptic' by David B. and "Black Hole" by Charles Burns.) If you know any comics that focus on the stigmatisation of people with 'Othered' bodies that would be fantastic! Thank you so much!

comicstudent Hello! Thanks for your visit! How can I answer your question? I’m not a great scholar, not as deep comics connoisseur so! I’m just a fan, as you are too! ;-) Well what can I now remember are the stories of the brothers Hernandez, which you can find in “Love and Rockets”. I also remember the great “Stitches” by David Small. We can not forget the powerful “Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron” of Daniel Clowes. Then there are other languages, “Ma circoncision” of Riad Sattouf. “Acht, Neun, Zehn” of Arne Bellstorf. “Insekt” and “Vier Augen” of Sascha Hommer. It would be nice you visit the catalog publishers like The Fantagraphics, Drawn and Quarterly and the like. The Le'Association from Paris, The Reprodukt from German. And the Cachalote in Brazil. Look for work of Rafael Coutinho and Rafael Sica, both Brazilians. By the way Rafael Sica does not use speech, point! Sorry for the translator;-)

Brazil Hugs.
