On Comics and Grief

English

By (author): Dale Jacobs

Fragmented and hybrid in style, On Comics and Grief examines a year in comic book publishing and the authors grief surrounding his mothers death. This book connects grief, memory, nostalgia, personal history, theory, and multiple lines of comics studies inquiry in relation to the comic books of 1976.

Structured around a year of comic books with a cover date of 1976, the book is divided into an Introduction plus twelve sections, each a month of the 1976 publishing year. Two comic books are highlighted each month and examined through the interwoven lenses of creative nonfiction and comics studies. Through these twenty-four comics, the book addresses the major comic book publishers and virtually all genres of comics published in 1976.

By pushing the ways in which the personal is used in comics studies, combining different modes of writing, and embracing a fragmentary style, the book explores what is possible in academic writing in general and comics studies in particular. On Comics and Grief both acts as a way for the author to process his grief and uses grief as a way to think about the comics themselves through the emotions and personal connections that underlie the work we do as scholars.
