From the 1971 appearance of the Skywald Publications character \"the Butterfly\" - the first Black female superheroine in a comic book - to contemporary comic books, graphic novels, film, manga, and video gaming, a growing number of Black women are becoming producers, viewers, and subjects of sequential art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the first detailed investigation of Black women's participation in comic art, \u003ci\u003eBlack Women in Sequence\u003c\/i\u003e examines the representation, production, and transnational circulation of women of African descent in the sequential art world. In this groundbreaking study, which includes interviews with artists and writers, Deborah Whaley suggests that the treatment of the Black female subject in sequential art says much about the place of people of African descent in national ideology in the United States and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Elizabeth Whaley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295994959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295994956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 7.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2015 pg. 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/06\/2015 pg. 18","brand":"Deborah Elizabeth Whaley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064817496319,"sku":"9780295994956","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39112ff1-4fff-42c7-aba4-078a9d62ee16.jpg?v=1768671228","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/black-women-in-sequence-deborah-elizabeth-whaley-9780295994956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
