Read the following
excerpt from Douglas Wolk's
Reading Comics
about the question of whether comics (it sounds strange to make it
singular, I know) is a medium or a genre. What is the difference between
a medium and a genre? Why does Wolk suggest it matters which one we
label comics? What does he mean by "highbrow" comics? Can we put a
work like Spiegelman's
Maus, with which we begin the semester, and
Archie (seen above) alongside one another?
