dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The representation of war and conflict in comics has traditionally been constrained by the single-panel format, often leading to a simplified, reductionist view of complex geopolitical issues. This thesis proposes that multi-page graphic novels can offer a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of war's psychological and emotional impact on communities. Unlike single-panel comics, graphic novels provide an extended narrative format that allows for a deeper exploration into the individual and communal experiences of those affected by conflict. The research aims to analyze the effectiveness of graphic novels as a tool for visual communication, specifically in conveying the multifaceted traumas and complexities of war, thereby fostering greater empathy and understanding among readers. Keywords: Graphic Novels, War, Conflict, Visual Communication, Emotional Impact, Psychological Trauma, Empathy, Single-Panel Comics, Narrative, Community Experienceen
