Contributors examine gender performativity, masculinity, lesbian politics and representation, trauma, life writing and queer theory; place Bechdel among other comics artists; use archival material to study her creative process; and analyze her work in building community through comics. The volume argues that Bechdel's work performs a series of selves across her chosen forms."}
