Week 11 “Comics as Contemporary Literature”




Asterios Polyp was very different, it was particularly interesting to read because of its amazing use of composition. The shape and size of the panels are used to set a pace depending on the moment or event. Not only is the composition of each illustration effective and creative, the arrangement of the panels within the page themselves is a whole work of art. 


Its awesome how each character has their own individual thought bubble, usually we are limited to one piece of information at a time, or focused on a specific character instead of several. Its important to also note how depending on the personality of the character, their thought bubble differs. For instance, some characters are very flowy, round and loose. While others like, Asterios whos more reserved, uptight, has geometric and organized panels.
