Week 9: World of Comics

This week we touched more on comics from other parts of the world, more specifically Europe. This week I looked into a Graphic Novel by Anki Bilal called The Dormant Beast. This story takes after the strong themes we've already seen in both underground comics and stories like Maus. It's not really meant for younger audiences, which isn't necessarily a bad thing since it opens the market up to readers of all ages.

This story in particular is beautifully illustrated and doesn't use a lot of text. The story is all in color and shows quite a bit of expression compared to other stories. This allows for the reader to connect on a more visual level and get more of an emotional feel for the story.
