Synopsis
Hatfield analyses such seminal works as: Art Spiegelman's "Maus"; Gilbert Hernadez's "Palomar: The Heartbreak Soup Stories"; Justin Green's "Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary"; Harvey Pekar's "American Splendor", and explores how issues outside of cartooning - the market-place, production demands, and work schedules - can affect the final work. He teases out the complications of creating biography and autobiography in a pre-eminently visual medium and shows how creators approach these issues in radically different ways.
