"This book examines the fictional female bodies of four stylistically distinct comics
artists in the US-Chris Ware, Emil Ferris, Ebony Flowers, and Tillie Walden-whose
work has attracted significant attention. These bodies showcase how comics and its
unique visual language can both critique and re-envision some of the most challenging
social issues of our time. The characters analyzed in this book illustrate diverse
techniques for projecting the complex humanity and "truth" of US women's unruly bodies
onto a two-dimensional page. All of the protagonists qualify as "outsider" in some
way, whether by gender identity, sexuality, ability, religion, race, class, ethnicity,
age, or a combination of these and other categories. These bodily expressions of outsider
identity both resist traditional categorization and stereotypes, and sometimes harness
and employ those stereotypes for the purposes of parody or social critique. The language
of comics affords a unique opportunity for complex representation of these disparate
women's bodies, especially when comics artists use the full range of tools at their
disposal, such as style, materials, narrative direction, the space of the gutter,
and the friction between word and image. This is an a timely and important intervention
suitable for researchers and students in comics studies, gender studies, literature
and queer studies"
