Abstract
In her afterword to Documenting Trauma in Comics, Hillary Chute offers her thoughts on the collection and the chapters collected therein. She focuses on the collection’s presentation of distinct definitions of trauma, and distinct viewpoints on the value of the field of trauma studies, as well as the lexicon, both formal and colloquial, it has inspired. She argues that what is key to consider is that comics, the form, is not a vehicle for preformed content, but rather that ‘thinking in comics’—the work of creation—shapes the experience and articulation of what is documented.
