Abstract

The article explores the relationship between time and space in autobiographical comics, focusing on how characters' minds and emotional states are depicted through visual elements and spatial arrangements. It discusses how comics offer a unique opportunity to address time complexity and multidimensionality, using visual representation to communicate nonlinear, circular, or accumulative narratives. Through examples from autobiographical comics, the article delves into the manipulation of time to convey characters' mental and emotional states, ultimately presenting a cubist view of time that challenges traditional linear narratives.
