IntroductionComics are a funny business. A business which, until recently, had been regarded as inherently juvenile and only really capable of producing material fit for children or, at best, adolescents. Maybe this is confirmed by their pop culture status as source material for the loudest and brashest of summer blockbusters.
Still, you only have to turn your head slightly away from the glare of the costumed heroes to see a different take on comics: one which can combine the best aspects of biography, literary fiction, historical texts, memoir, discursive essays, and poetry, with a storytelling method based on visual panache and sophistication.
Often I work with groups who are comics fans first and foremost, and in such cases I end up battling existing preconceptions of what constitutes a ‘comic’. In RADE’s case I left my preconceptions at the door and I think all the participants in the workshops did too. They had already worked up ideas in previous creative writing sessions. Following the introductory classes, we worked on formatting and ‘translating’ their story ideas into comics form.
All of the participants engaged with the ideas and working methods I presented and many produced work that surprised themselves. Although the inspiration for the stories comes from a significant national historical event, it’s interesting to note that the pieces in this collection are predominantly smaller in scope and more intimate as a result.
In the end though, comics remain a raw, symbol-heavy medium. There is an immediate power to the drawn image that is difficult to mute and it’s this rawness and power which many of the participants brought to their final piece. I’m very proud to have worked with them in bringing these comics to fruition.
