520 This thesis researches the ways that comics artists
represent themselves in their work and use their own
personal life experience to create visual life narratives.
The main purpose is to investigate concepts of both self-
image and world-view in comics by Cecilia Torudd, Ulf
Lundkvist, Gunna Grähs and Joakim Pirinen, in order to
achieve a more nuanced understan- ding of life narratives
in a broader sense. The study also aims at giving an
account of the development of alternative comics in Sweden
during the period 1965-2015, including the rise of the
autobiographical comics genre at the turn of the
millennium. In individual case studies, I present the life
and work of these four Swedish artists, who all emerged in
the late 1970s and early 1980s, at a time when so-called
adult comics (vuxenserier) became promi- nent in Sweden. I
analyse and interpret a number of life narratives by their
hand, applying theories on art and visual communication,
comics and life narratives. These analyses reveal common
and individual themes as well as visual and narrative
strategies. Particular atten- tion is paid to the
contribution of the image in the creation of story worlds
where personal style and the skill of drawing are
highlighted as means to create a sense of credibility. By
putting their work in a historical, cultural and social
context, and through an interdisciplinary approach, the
study results in a deeper knowledge of these comics as a
medium for self-ex- pression. The study shows that life
narratives are indeed already prominent in the Swedish
comics of the 1980s. By seeing self-image as a concept of
oneself in interaction with others, and world-view as a
subjective perception of the outside world that is
conveyed through the comics medium, this thesis gives a
broader perspective on the ways that the self and the
world take shape in the comics medium. Cartoonists who
portray themselves and use their own experiences to tell
stories convey new world-views through their visual life
narratives
