Abstract
Images have acted as crucial diagnostic tools since the late 20th century. Sophisticated technologies, such as X-Rays and MRIs, offer doctors a precise “picture” of illness. But autobiographical comics about illness, known as “graphic medicine”, provide a different picture. This article aims to explore the historical and contemporary connections between acts of drawing and the representation of illness.
