Abstract

Guy Delisle’s graphic travel narratives Shenzen: A Travelogue from China, Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea, Burma Chronicles, and the latest Chroniques de Jérusalem, are additions to the ever growing genre of autobiographical comics. Comics that, apart from everyday experiences, deal with traumas, history and travels. Moving back and forth between image, text, and context, I point to the prominent elements that constitute the author’s self-representation and renderings of the places visited.
