With its enticing question splashed across the cover, Hillary Chute's Why Comics? invites the reader to consider the connections among comics, comics creators, and the medium's everexpanding audience. Through ten chapters all prefaced by “Why” (“Disaster,” “Superheroes,” “Sex,” “he Suburbs,” “Cities,” “Punk,” “Illness & Disability,” “Girls,” “War,” and “Queer”), Chute examines why the shape-shifting form of comics continues to serve as the perfect vessel for visual storytellers attempting to capture the complexity of the human condition.
