The Indigenous Comics Bibliography

Compiled by a team of 4 researchers working from a pair of Manitoba Universities, “Indigenous Comics and Graphic Novels: An Annotated Bibliography” provides an invaluable resource to anyone interested in Indigenous comics. 1/5

In introducing the bibliography, scholar and contributor Candida Rifkind describes the impact that the project had on the team of researchers, which featured two Indigenous scholars and two settler scholars: 2/5

“Working on this project, we have learned that Indigenous comics and graphic novels matter…that Indigenous characters can be just as brave, resilient, complex, messy, smart, and funny as any other comic book heroes.” 3/5

“And we have also learned that a popular form like comics can make those “zombies, vampires, and ungentled ghosts” of settler colonialism come alive in the most literal of ways, along with the superheroes, guardians, and tricksters needed to fight and survive them.” 4/5
