Abstract

Between Narrative and Essay. The Self as a Space of Reconciliation in Comics. Mainstream comics models have been usually understood as fictional narrative. However, the development of graphic novel and popular science comics have pointed out basic autobiographical and essayistic aspects. Often, these books reveal themselves as healing and might be labeled as graphic medicine or, at least, might be seen as an space where the self can be happily reconciled with the other, through the recognition of shared circumstances.
