| Abstract |
|
This article looks at instances where creators of nonfiction comics insert themselves into their works via avatar characters. Drawing on Bill Nichols’s “modes of documentary film,” the paper discusses instances of author avatars in the history of nonfiction comics from Henry Kiyama’s 1931 Four Immigrants Manga to Joe Sacco’s first-person comics journalism in Palestine.
