In this discussion-based class, we will explore the portrayal of distinct Chicago neighborhoods in contemporary graphic novels, focusing on 1960s Uptown, 2000s Humboldt Park, and 2010s South Side.

Emil Ferris' My Favorite Thing is Monster, Chris Ware's Building Stories, and Eve Ewing's Ironheart series will provide three lenses to view Chicago through their specific interpretation of the 'graphic novel.' Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art will serve as a guiding text as we navigate these three works.

Four sessions. $215/$193.50. Led by Brian T. Lynch.
