Abstract
Briggs (When the Wind Blows), Spiegelman (Maus) and Satrapi (Persepolis) are well known for their biocular 'verbal-visual conjunctions' of highly polemic content with the least threatening of narrative forms, the comic strip (Hirsch in Whitlock: 966). With Australian author/illustrators Shaun Tan (The Arrival) and Matt Ottley (Requiem for a Beast) recently generating contention regarding the intended audiences of illustrated books/graphic novels, it has become pedagogically imperative to consider visual narrative forms as sophisticated sites of active meaning-making. This paper explores the contemporary evolution of the (mirroring, extending and conflicting) relationship between word and image, and the potential influence of visual narrative on prose processes and productions.
