Presenter
Australian School Library Association Inc.
By way of an introduction, I am an
independent researcher with a keen
interest in visual literacy, graphic novels
and multimodal storytelling.
In the past I taught English, Drama and
History in NSW high schools. I have also
worked as a writer, editor and consultant
for the School Libraries division of the NSW
Department of Education.
In 2016 I completed a PhD on Australian
graphic novels and have presented papers at
national and international conferences.
Most recent publications on graphic novels
include ‘Empowering 21st century readers:
Integrating graphic novels into primary
classrooms’ in Picture Books and Beyond
(2014) edited by Kerry Mallan and ‘Crossing
Cultural Boundaries with Graphic Novels’
published in Scan 36.4 (2017).

Note how the different placement, gestures and expressions of Captain Congo and Pug
convey clues that enable readers to make meaning about the nature of these characters.

Images
Panel 1: indexical images – there
is part of a large locomotive, a
whistle emitting lines that
suggest sound, and steam.
It suggests that a steam train is
setting off on a journey.
Panel 2: the setting of the
interior of the train carriage in
which Congo and Pug are
travelling.
Panels 3 and 4: an external view
of the train as a mid and then
distant shot as it travels through
the Indian countryside.
Verbal components
The verbal components are
minimal and involve Congo
noting the punctuality of the
train’s departure and the time it
will take to reach Bekar.
Pug is more concerned about
keeping cool on the long
journey.
Layout
Four horizontal panels.
Panel 2: larger.
It contains the two main
characters and their dialogue.
Horizontal panels suggest a
longer period of time passing,
as is appropriate for the long
train journey.
Colour
The dominant colour scheme is
warm and earthy.
It depicts the hot climate of
India. Note the shift from the
cooler blue & white of the first
panel to heat created by the
yellow and orange in panel 4.
Perspective / point of view
The reader is positioned outside
the scene as an observer and is
thus able to see what is going on
inside a carriage as well as
observing the train across the
fields from an external view.

In the centre panel
Pug has circular
flourishes
around his head
and his beak is seen
in two different
positions.
What does this
signify?
What might Pug’s
fan signify?
What could the
colour of each of
the women’s
saris
represent?

Silent graphic narratives engage readers in:
• exercising and extending their understanding
of the iconicity and symbolism of images
• cultivating inferential and imaginative engagement with
visual narration
• developing an intuitive understanding of others’ mental
states through investing in what happens to the silent
characters.
‘Wordless picture stories have a unique and especially intimate
relationship to their reader…’ Christopher Kupers
Australian School Library Association Inc.
22
‘… emo onally produced
gestures and expressive
postures are
accumulated and stored
in the memory, forming a
non-verbal vocabulary of
gesture.’
Will Eisner (1985)
Australian School Library Association Inc.
23
‘… the art of the comic
book can freeze …
expressions in close-up
frames that arrest me
and enhance
recogni on of the
subject’s feelings.’
Suzanne Keen (2011)
Australian School Library Association Inc.
24

‘Our tendency to
recognise character and
emo on even in the
simplest of lines, speaks
in many …silent comics.’
Barbara Postema (2014)

Comics ‘have the power
to fly under the critical
radar and dive right into
the brain’.
Art Spiegelman (2003)
Australian School Library Association Inc.
29
‘In comics word and
image approach each
other: words can be
visually inflected, reading
as pictures, while pictures
can become as abstract
and symbolic as words …’
Charles Hatfield, 2005
Australian School Library Association Inc.

‘Literacy education is changing rapidly;
we need to expand our own knowledge
base and skill set if we are to remain
viable facilitators of our students’
literacy development.’

  • 3. Presenter Australian School Library Association Inc. By way of an introduction, I am an independent researcher with a keen interest in visual literacy, graphic novels and multimodal storytelling. In the past I taught English, Drama and History in NSW high schools. I have also worked as a writer, editor and consultant for the School Libraries division of the NSW Department of Education. In 2016 I completed a PhD on Australian graphic novels and have presented papers at national and international conferences. Most recent publications on graphic novels include ‘Empowering 21st century readers: Integrating graphic novels into primary classrooms’ in Picture Books and Beyond (2014) edited by Kerry Mallan and ‘Crossing Cultural Boundaries with Graphic Novels’ published in Scan 36.4 (2017).

  • 13. Australian School Library Association Inc. 13 Note how the different placement, gestures and expressions of Captain Congo and Pug convey clues that enable readers to make meaning about the nature of these characters.

  • 16. Australian School Library Association Inc. 16 Images Panel 1: indexical images – there is part of a large locomotive, a whistle emitting lines that suggest sound, and steam. It suggests that a steam train is setting off on a journey. Panel 2: the setting of the interior of the train carriage in which Congo and Pug are travelling. Panels 3 and 4: an external view of the train as a mid and then distant shot as it travels through the Indian countryside. Verbal components The verbal components are minimal and involve Congo noting the punctuality of the train’s departure and the time it will take to reach Bekar. Pug is more concerned about keeping cool on the long journey. Layout Four horizontal panels. Panel 2: larger. It contains the two main characters and their dialogue. Horizontal panels suggest a longer period of time passing, as is appropriate for the long train journey. Colour The dominant colour scheme is warm and earthy. It depicts the hot climate of India. Note the shift from the cooler blue & white of the first panel to heat created by the yellow and orange in panel 4. Perspective / point of view The reader is positioned outside the scene as an observer and is thus able to see what is going on inside a carriage as well as observing the train across the fields from an external view.

  • 18. Australian School Library Association Inc. 18 In the centre panel Pug has circular flourishes around his head and his beak is seen in two different positions. What does this signify? What might Pug’s fan signify? What could the colour of each of the women’s saris represent?

  • 21. Australian School Library Association Inc. 21 Silent graphic narratives engage readers in: • exercising and extending their understanding of the iconicity and symbolism of images • cultivating inferential and imaginative engagement with visual narration • developing an intuitive understanding of others’ mental states through investing in what happens to the silent characters. ‘Wordless picture stories have a unique and especially intimate relationship to their reader…’ Christopher Kupers
  • 22. Australian School Library Association Inc. 22 ‘… emo onally produced gestures and expressive postures are accumulated and stored in the memory, forming a non-verbal vocabulary of gesture.’ Will Eisner (1985)
  • 23. Australian School Library Association Inc. 23 ‘… the art of the comic book can freeze … expressions in close-up frames that arrest me and enhance recogni on of the subject’s feelings.’ Suzanne Keen (2011)
