Abstract | In my dissertation, I develop a combination of structural and critical theories for the medium-specific analysis of comics for children and young adults. I begin by laying a historical foundation of the medium of comics and a visual culture analytic framework to delineate my specific methodology of research, a contextualized graphic narratology. As of the writing of this dissertation, this work is the only extended, single-authored exploration into the construction and implications of comics for children and young adults. Within the following chapters, I combine the medium specific tools of a formalist comics study with the field-based knowledge of the function of children's and young adult narratives. I use these combined analytic tools to not only further the growth of a new comics scholarship but also to investigate how comics for children and young adults are using the implied reader to push the boundaries of the definition of "child." Looking at two comics series for young readers, "Lumberjanes" and the "March" trilogy, I explore how what I call tools of disruption are woven into the visual constructions in order to play with reader's experiences and expectations, provoke them into questioning the texts they are reading and the world around them, and push them to lay the foundation for imagined alternatives. I conclude by discussing the importance of my framework as a means of generative dialogic interdisciplinarity in the fields of children's literature, literacy education, and youth culture studies in their efforts to teach, read, and write for social justice.
