"Comics and the U.S. South offers an extensive and long-overdue assessment of how
life and culture in the United States South is represented in serial comics, graphic
novels, newspaper comic strips, and web comics. Diverting the lens of comics studies
from the skyscrapers of Superman's Metropolis or Chris Ware's Chicago to the swamps,
back roads, small towns, and cities of the U.S. South, this collection critically
examines the pulp genres associated with mainstream comic books alongside independent
and alternative comics. Some essays seek to discover what Captain America can reveal
about southern regionalism and how slave narratives can help us reread Swamp Thing;
others examine how creators such as Walt Kelly (Pogo), Howard Cruse (Stuck Rubber
Baby), Kyle Baker (Nat Turner), and Josh Neufeld (A.D.: New Orleans after the Deluge)
draw upon the unique formal properties of the comics to question and revise familiar
narratives of race, class, and sexuality; and another considers how southern writer
Randall Kenan adapted elements of comics form to prose fiction. With essays from an
interdisciplinary group of scholars, Comics and the U.S. South contributes to and
also productively reorients the most significant and compelling conversations in both
comics scholarship and in southern studies."--Page 4 of cover
