<i>Drawing from Life: Memory and Subjectivity in Comic Art</i> is an excellent collection of essays on such highly regarded memoirists/cartoonists as Alison Bechdel, Lynda Barry, Marjane Satrapi and Art Spiegelman, but the book is especially noteworthy for its inclusion of texts and paradigms less common in comics studies: Martin Vaughn-James's <i>The Cage</i>, sexual trauma, Joseph Cornell's influence on Chris Ware, the manga-influenced work of Frederic Boilet. The result is a diverse collection that advances and energizes the conversation about comics autobiography. --Craig Fischer, Appalachian State University</p>
