"This Book Contains Graphic Language" looks at different literary forms and genres - including journalism, fiction, memoirs, and film - in relation to their comic book counterparts. By demonstrating the ways in which comic books (and graphic novels) both reflect upon, and expand the boundaries of literature, Rocco Versaci demonstrates that comics have earned the right to be taken just as seriously as any other literary form.

Chapter One: Why Comics?; Chapter Two: Creating a 'Special Reality; Chapter Three: ReMaustering the Past; Chapter Four: The 'New Journalism' Revisited; Chapter Five: Guerilla Warfare and Sneak Attacks; Chapter Six: Illustrating the Classics.
