| Abstract |
|
This article examines the remediation of Christina’s World within DC/Vertigo’s comic book series Preacher (1995-2000), which integrates a pastiche of the painting as a cover illustration, reworks its themes into its narrative structure but also presents the painting as an art object within the storyworld. This text focuses on the intent and effect of this remediation, to reflect on gendered representations within the narrative and on gender-coded cultural hierarchies in the comics and art worlds. The article also investigates the multiple ways in which Preacher seeks to validate the plurality of readings afforded by Wyeth’s work, as a form of celebration which sidesteps the distinction between high and low culture.
