Physician/author Ian Williams coined the term "graphic medicine" to "denote the role that comics can play in the study and delivery of healthcare." The robust emerging graphic medicine community can be witnessed in its
website and
annual conference, as well as in the profusion of fascinating graphic medicine texts created from a range of perspectives, visions, and voices.
Graphic Medicine Manifesto (Penn State University Press, 2015)--the first book in the exciting Graphic Medicine series at The Pennsylvania State University Press--introduces graphic medicine as a practice, a movement, and an ethos to the wide and diverse audience it deserves and will surely attract. This interview features three of the authors of the
Graphic Medicine Manifesto: MK Czerwiec, Ian Williams, and Susan Merrill Squier.
