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: 2006). 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 meaningmaking. 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.
