This chapter examines a number of comics to determine whether texts about abortion, miscarriage, and birthing exceed normative discourses of maternity (which frequently frame such life-events as horrific and monstrous), or if, despite their potential to perform otherwise, certain comics perpetuate the characterization of maternity as abject. This chapter provides an analysis of how particular comics do, or do not, make use of monstrosity in order to imagine im/possibilities relating to birth. |
