The Journal of Comics and Culture Volume 6: Reconstructing Memory and History Through Photographs

The Journal of Comics and Culture studies the comic and graphic novel in conjunction with its impact in and response to popular culture. This journal analyzes and illustrates the growing talents in the field of comics, as well as comics' origins, impacts, and reflections on American culture as a whole.

This volume features entries exploring the impact immigration has on comics. From exploring the role of Superman as an immigrant to the planet earth to multiple articles about how the Asian diaspora intersects with superhero identity, JCC Volume 6 has a wealth of information.

This peer-reviewed journal was edited for the first time by Dr. Ioana D. Atanassova. "This issue of the Journal of Comics and Culture is very near and dear to my heart," she said, drawing on her own experience as an immigrant. She notes that comic and graphic novels play a role in exploring diverse identities, with superheroes reflecting cultural values.
