Michael Green’s Comics Course at Penn State Hershey

Two new pieces that feature Michael Green’s work at Penn State Hershey. First, a blog post from his class’s visiting comic artist, JT Waldman. Dr. Michael Green, the svelte bespectacled professor who invites me each year to his class at Penn State College of Medicine, greets me along the train tracks as he normally does. Michael has had me guest teach his Graphic Storytelling & Medical Narratives course for the last few years. We met back in 2009, when I did some workshops at his local community center. Since then, Dr. Green has tasked me to help his students develop their… Read More

Welcome to Nursing HELLo

In this two volume collection, Joel Craig documents, through a simple but clear and effective visual language, an honest account of his motivation to enter nursing, his frustrations with colleagues, the joys – and the drudgeries – of his life as a general medical nurse. Reminiscent of Miriam Engelberg’s Cancer Made Me a Shallower Person, Joel’s work also depicts entertaining comedic mind wanderings which reveal the absurdities of life in health care. In this case, Joel discusses his frustrations and aspirations with his imagined dream colleague, Nurse Madonna (as in Material Girl, not religious icon.) Joel also depicts his interpretation… Read More

Dad’s not all there anymore: Lewy Body Dementia comic

Alex Demetris got in touch recently. He’s working on a comic about Lewy Body Dementia. It looks very interesting and I can’t wait to see more (there is a printed copy in the post to me!). This is what Alex has to say about his project: ‘Having produced numerous cartoons and short comic strips over the past six years, last autumn I decided to enrol on an MA in Illustration at Camberwell College of the Arts in order to explore fully my interest in producing a longer narrative comic.  In 2007 my father had been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia,… Read More

It’s a Bird

guest review by Dr. Ryan Montoya, MD Family Medicine Physician and Comic Book Artist rjmontoya@gmail.com Steve, the narrator of the 2004 Vertigo Graphic Novel It’s a Bird, cannot reconcile the myth of Superman with his every day life. He feels that Superman is the least-relatable character ever created. This becomes startlingly clear in “The Outsider,” one of the many fascinating vignettes that punctuate this semi-autobiographical work by author Steven T. Seagle and artist Teddy Kristiansen. While Clark Kent, a white male, is ostensibly an outsider who hides behind glasses and suit and tie, the real outsiders – the Jewish accountant who… Read More

Level Up

guest review by Kathryn Fay, Northwestern Medical Student   Pacman has what every good video game – and narrative for that matter – should have:  motivation (fleeing from ghosts), reward (eating yellow dots), and obstacle (navigating a labyrinthine course).  Best of all, it has familiarity. Level Up, by Gene Luen Yang, satisfies on all these counts, too. The story starts off with Dennis, the main character, sharing his first experience with an arcade. Many of us remember that moment, too: mine was at the dentist office (the only place I was allowed to play video games, mind you); game of… Read More
