Disagree with the connection to images. For most books, the occasional drawing is a wonderful surprise when you turn the page and can compare your imaging with that of the artist assigned the book. The color illustrations in books by George Barr McCutcheon at the turn of the 20th century are collectibles that are my especial favorites.
As for comics, ADORE THEM! Superman! Batman! Wonder Woman! These were the most marvelous supplementary materials to the Great Poets in mother's library and never moved me an inch away from appreciating As You Like It or Comedy of Errors.
When I began writing fiction, I was THRILLED when the editors arranged for illustrations. Later, I illustrated the poetry of my 5th great grandfather and made the pages into little comic books of my own.
To Master Timmy Dwight, son of Yale President Timothy Dwight
When I came to write biographies of my ancestors, I was lavish with illustrations as frequently as I could fit them. That's the wonderful part of an e-book. You can be lush with color and it doesn't raise the price as it does with a soft cover version.
I was thinking of online, and games.
As for comics,
I learned a lot from the old ones.
Superman! Batman! Wonder Woman!
Before wokeism, and not Wonder Woman.
Wokeism 101:
As proclaimed in the manifesto of a feminist wordcrafter ("Brianna Thompson") in wokeducation, warring against what God ordained, and who is employed from a college founded in 1824 by Episcopal Bishop Philander Chase,
"...intersections with race, ethnicity, coloniality, class and ability, the sex/gender system of oppression has long served as a taxonomizing apparatus. And yet, the literary, in league with anticolonial, civil rights and LGBTQ social movements,...animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations otherwise... representations of gender and sexuality can leverage critiques against normativity...Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies and methodologies...
Against the traffic of binary opposition, we’ll index the possibilities of intimacy and performativity... As a class collective, our aim is to read and reread as well as write and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate how gender and sexuality, as contested sites of pleasure and pain, are embodied and experienced."
