Some Aspects of the Translation of Graphic Novels Applied to Virus tropical
For this presentation, I want to focus on the translation of comics’ two main elements: text and images. To illustrate that, I will use the graphic novel Virus tropical written in Spanish by PowerPaola as an example of Spanish to English translation. This work was presented at the Mass Undergrad Research Conference in April 2022. This presentation is based on a research paper (see the "Research Papers" page).
