Exploring Graphic Medicine
Matthew Noe speaks with Jeff Lemire, Shreya Davies, Rachel Thomas, and Jon Claytor about how their work fits into the field of graphic medicine.
They discuss whether creating and sharing their stories helps them process what they have gone through, as well as their research processes and how they ground their stories in real locations to better immerse readers. The conversation also covers the importance of avoiding stereotypes, who they imagine as their audience, and how visual imagery is used to communicate complex personal and medical experiences.
Additional topics include managing multiple creative projects, where they hope to see graphic medicine books distributed beyond traditional outlets, and how to avoid common narrative tropes when telling medically or emotionally grounded stories.
