SWAN 241 - The Art and History of the Graphic Comic

3 credits
3 lecture hours.

This course satisfies the film history and culture requirement for SWAN. The course introduces students to the comic as an art form with a history that spans over a century. Masterworks and their creators, as well as genres within the form, are examined through critical evaluations of comics and the industry behind them. Though emphasis is placed on the history of American comics, students will also study European and Japanese comics, and how they have been adapted as film and TV.
