Why Comics Are and Are Not Picture Books: Introduction

A narrativa gráfica enquanto medium | Graphic narratives as medium

“…Apesar de comics e livros ilustrados se definirem por essa relação, esse é um dos principais pontos em que as categorias se diferenciam, pois os comics utilizam uma série de códigos e convenções específicas, enquanto a maioria dos livros ilustrados tendem a apresentar uma narrativa textual "descolada" da narrativa pictórica para ser contada por um leitor. No entanto, essas convenções têm se misturado cada vez mais (Hatfield & Svonkin, 2012), embora o foco das pesquisas contrastem. Por fim, a revisão bibliográfica mostrou que os estudos dos livros ilustrados contemporâneos têm evidenciado relações interpretativas mais complexas entre texto e imagem.…”

Framing Education: Doing Comics Literacy in the Classroom

“…Although the current dissertation focuses on meaning making with comics, many visual and narrative aspects utilized by comics are also recurring in picture books (cf. Gibson, 2010;C. Hatfield & Svonkin, 2012).…”

“…Hatfield and Svonkin (2012) question this type of "presumed opposition" between comics and picture books, where one is "seen as empowering young readers", while the other is seen as "competing with or even obstructing […] literacy" (p. 431). They point out that this kind of ideological framing of the two formats only serves to obscure the kinship that they share.…”

“…Unlike the picture book convention, BY does not use the page break for surprising effects (cf. Sipe & Brightman, 2009), but it does use the splash page of the comic book, by having some pages contain a single panel, where the environment can be displayed in more detail (albeit, the single-page panel is a picture book convention, see C. Hatfield and Svonkin (2012)). This is often accompanied by a narrative text describing the nature or animals in the scene.…”
