The Environmental Graphic Novel: How Green Is the Panel

The Environmental Graphic Novel examines this emerging genre for its themes of climate change, disaster, and environmental justice. It underscores how the form encourages and sensitizes readers to ongoing environmental concerns from climate disaster to resistance and resilience. Assuming that the eco-apocalyptic is not the sole means of spotlighting climate disaster, this book argues that naturalist memoirs/biographies, disaster and post-disaster texts, and even fables are instrumental in re-animating and re-enchanting the world. The book is well suited to students and researchers interested in the graphic novel, ecological and environmental narratives, and environmental humanities as a whole.
