Women Comic Writers

Here is a link to some comments and a list of female comic book authors. I am interested in the way the females have come along in the comic book industry. This was an interesting site.

Comics as Movies

I think it is very interesting how closely related comic books and movies are. After watching "Persepolis", I really noticed it. The movie was just as I had imagined it while reading, except not in as much detail. Comics are actually better at telling a story, because they can do more than a movie. They can slow down the time and give you different thoughts that a movie can't. Movies can't really show you what is going on in someone's head, like a comic book can. Comics slow down time and tell the story, whereas movies just show you.

Persepolis

I liked the comic "Persepolis" the way that is includes a child's perspective and an adults perspective makes it interesting. It gives you a way of relating to the story line in two different ways. The main character faces a lot of conflict yet has a childish view of the conflict during the conflict, but when looking back on it realizes just how serious the events of her childhood actually are.
