Since the beginning of Tartan Datascapes, I've talked about a lot of different kinds of data, from surveys, to novels, to Facebook posts, to training datasets for machine learning algorithms. Most people reading this blog probably read comic books in a similar way! But what if I told you that there are other ways we can engage with the content in comic books and graphic novels, learning more about the social, cultural, and political themes present within the story? If you're curious, grab a snack, some coffee/tea, and keep reading! How did you do it? Did you read it straight through from the first page to the last page? Did you first skim through it to get a general idea of the content? The last comic book I read was the manga Paradise Kiss (it's brilliant, if you haven't read it!), and I read it in the same way that I read all other comic books: I read the text in the speech bubbles and look at the illustrations in the panels. Think back to the last time you read a comic book.
