In recent years, studios like Marvel and DC have seen enormous success transforming comics into major motion pictures. At the same time, bookstores have made more room for comic books and graphic novels on their shelves. Yet despite the popular appeal of these media, Indigenous artists continue to find their work given little attention by mainstream publishers, booksellers, production houses, and academics. In his book Indigenous Comics and Graphic Novels: Studies in Genre (University Press of Mississippi, 2024), James J. Donahue, a Boston College graduate, unravels the disparities of representation in the fields of comics studies and comics publishing. Donahue documents and analyzes the works of several Indigenous artists, including Theo Tso, Todd Houseman, and Arigon Starr. The author emphasizes that the creation of artistic and critical spaces for Indigenous comics and graphic novels should be an essential concern for the comics studies field. Indigenous Comics and Graphic Novels was shortlisted for the 2025 Charles Hatfield Book Prize from the Comics Studies Society. Donahue, who earned a master’s degree from BC in 1998, is a professor of English at SUNY Potsdam, where he has taught since 2007.
