Why are there so many letters in Disney comics? What is the gravitas of extra-diegetic information that cannot be contained in the narrator’s text and needs to get there by postal services? Reading reveals the hidden power of correspondence as a narrative device within the realms of Disney storytelling. By placing a magnifying lens on these seemingly inconspicuous moments, Manouach invites readers to reconsider the significance of letters and their impact on the development of characters and plotlines. The compendium reveals the remarkable potential of letters as a catalyst for introspection, character development, and unexpected plot twists. By offering an unconventional lens through which to appreciate the nuanced details of Disney’s letter-focused panels, this conceptual comic invites readers on a visual journey that transcends the boundaries of traditional narrative frameworks.
