About This Book
Analyzing the way that recent works of graphic narrative use the comics
form to engage with the “problem” of reproduction, Shiamin Kwa’s *Perfect
Copies* reminds us that the mode of production and the manner in which we
perceive comics are often quite similar to the stories they tell. *Perfect
Copies* considers the dual notions of reproduction, mechanical as well as
biological, andexplores how comics are works of reproduction that embed
questions about the nature of reproduction itself. Through close readings
of the comics *My Favorite Thing Is Monsters *by Emil Ferris,* The Black
Project* by Gareth Brookes, *The Generous Bosom* series by Conor
Stechschulte, *Sabrina* by Nick Drnaso, and *Panther *by Brecht Evens, *Perfect
Copies *shows how these comics makers push the limits of different ideas of
“reproduction” in strikingly different ways. Kwa suggests that reading and
thinking about books like these, that push us to engage with these
complicated questions teaches us how to become better readers.
