I have made a short academic comic about teaching comics with the help of Matt Madden. His 99 Ways to Tell a Story is read in every comics class I teach. Why? Because it truly demonstrates the versatility of comics and introduces students to genres and approaches that they were not aware of. Most of my students are not comics readers, so this is a quick way to get their brains going and inspire them to explore further.
Thank you Matt Madden for this work and thank you Emmy Waldman for inviting me to be part of the Graphic Formalism cluster of the ASAP-J journal. Read the full comic here:
“All the Stories, All the Ways: Teaching with Matt Madden’s 99 Ways to Tell a Story” Graphic Formalism thematic cluster of ASAP/J, eds. Eugenie Brinkema, Rebecca B. Clark and Emmy Waldman, 2022.
