Breaking walls - comics

self-reflexive comics...


An awareness of the comics medium becomes part of the narrative...






Japanese manga artist, Shintaro Kago... As Abstraction progresses, the narrative becomes fragmented and the panels are re-ordered giving a dreamlike and disjointed sense of time

Grant Morrison's Animal Man... the author interacts with the character...
The character exists outside of the comic book panel...
