Regulated Pandemic Spaces: Spatial Crises in Covid Comics
“To mask, or not to mask, that is the question”: Covid (Anti)Masking and Comics
While masks have functioned as important cultural artifacts, religious symbols, costume pieces, and components of social identity throughout history, in the current biopsychosocial context (of the COVID-19 pandemic), they predominantly refer to medical masks. This article, after reviewing the comprehensive and complex history (and evolution) of masks, seeks to investigate the symbolism and attitudes toward masking in the wake of COVID-19 through …
Graphic public health: An interview with Meredith Li-Vollmer
Public health is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses a wide range of activities and initiatives aimed at preventing diseases, addressing health disparities, promoting healthy behaviours, studying patterns, and improving the overall health of communities. Within this landscape, comics emerge as a dynamic tool for raising awareness, promoting healthy behaviour, enhancing understanding of public health messages, and effectively reaching diver…
‘Don’t Touch Anything’: Tactility, Covid-19, and graphic medicine
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the precarious porosity of the human body. Biological vulnerability and the fear of contagion in recent times has prompted the exercise of caution by enforcing distinct demarcating boundaries between the environment, the self, and the other. Thus, the faculty of touch is restricted despite its importance in functional, developmental, haptic, intimate, non-verbal, therapeutic, cultural, and social dimensions. Aven…
I Am Not a Virus”: Covid-19, Anti-Asian Hate, and Comics as Counternarratives
Who Sanitizes the Sanitizer?’: Covid Comics and Sanitisers
Much like face masks, hand sanitisers have become a household item and a prominent symbol since the COVID-19 pandemic. As sanitisers began to be widely used, contingent issues related to toxic ingredients in sanitising products, heightened pandemic-related anxiety, unscrupulous profiteering through inflated sanitiser prices, obsessive sanitisation, contamination fear, stockpiling, panic buying, and concerns regarding the overall effectiveness of …
Anthologising Covid: An Interview with Kendra Boileau and Michael Green
The COVID-19 pandemic is undoubtedly one of the most significant bio-socio-economic crisis of the early 21st century. Amid the fear, anger, hope, anxiety, disorientation, and uncertainty of the times, Graphic Mundi published COVID Chronicles: A Comics Anthology (2021), and Distant Connections published a comic series titled The Lockdown Lowdown. COVID Chronicles, edited by Kendra Boileau and Rich Johnson, includes 64 mini-comics from 70 contribut…
The time is out of joint’: Temporality, Covid-19 and graphic medicine
This article aims to theorise the human experiences of time during the lockdown (in the first phase of the pandemic) and the COVID-19 pandemic through the verbo-visual exposition of graphic medicine that combines the medium of comics and healthcare. The event of the pandemic has not only bifurcated our perception of time in terms of a 'before' and an 'after' but also complicated our awareness and experience of time. Put differently, an epochal tr…
