From ideas to ink
In this interview, Sean Michael Wilson delves into his multifaceted career as a graphic novel writer, revealing the intricacies of his creative process, the challenges of adapting complex subjects into visual narratives, and the evolving role of graphic novels in cultural discourse. With over 40 projects under his belt, Wilson shares his approach to beginning new works, whether they stem from original ideas or are adaptations of historical events…
Illustrating Memory
The present study aims to highlight the role that Clément Baloup’s comics, Vietnamese Memories: Leaving Saigon (Volume 1) and Vietnamese Memories: Little Saigon (Volume 2), play in the creation of an alternate archive that validates the forgotten tales and the memories of a neglected past. These texts provide an alternate form of remembrance by materialising the past in the form of images. The two volumes present the unheard experiences of the Vi…
A Visual Dialogue
The ability of graphic narratives to ensure reader-participation creates a visual dialogue between the narrative and the readers and makes them hospitable to the story at hand.

“Narrating Vietnamese history is the best way to open a can of worms…“
In this interview, Marcelino Truong discusses his take on the Vietnam War history as portrayed in his two graphic narratives, Such A Lovely Little War and Saigon Calling: London 1963–75.

In his works, the ‘autobiographical’ and the ‘personal’ puts the ‘official’ under scrutiny. …
‘The urge to know about the roots is just human, I guess’
In this interview, Clément Baloup addresses the varied aspects of his two graphic narratives, Vietnamese Memories: Leaving Saigon and Vietnamese Memories: Little Saigon (originally written in French). He talks about his choice of the medium, translation of his works to English and Baloup’s role in it, illustration and colouring style, organisation of the two volumes, Vietnamese history and diaspora, his influences, and the recent project
Trauma, Memory, History and its Counter Narration in Thi Bui’s Graphic Memoir The Best We Could Do
The idea of graphics has long been associated with entertainment, thus underlying the sense of gravity that graphic narratives attempt to portray. But lately this perception has changed and the scholarship in the field of graphic narratives has emerged tremendously, owing much to the texts by Eisner, Spiegelman, McCloud, and Chute, among many others. Bui’s sombre narrative presents the dreadful and horrifying reality of the Vietnam War and brings…
