Distinctive Styles and Authorship in Alternative Comics

By Lukas Etter

Distinctive Styles and Authorship in Alternative Comics addresses the benefits and limits of analyses of style in alternative comics. It offers three close readings of works serially published between 1980 and 2018 - Art Spiegelman's Maus, Alison Bechdel's Dykes to Watch Out For, and Jason Lutes' Berlin - and discusses how artistic style may influence the ways in which readers construct authorship.
