Abstract

This essay explores the narrative function of intericonicity—the quoting, paraphrasing, or reproducing of existing images—in documentary comics. Drawing from a number of documentary comics, I argue that documentary images are often incorporated into the story world to complicate, disrupt, and subvert understandings of the documentary as dependent on singular truths by highlighting subjectivity as central to knowledge. I propose that they enforce the story’s truth claims not because they exist or existed in the real world and served as evidence in that world, but rather because they underwrite the personal, emotional stance of an experiencing-I.
