| + | Through the previous intertextual and historical readings, this chapter developed upon how | ||
| + | the Western comic could follow popular trends and common conventions in the genre. | ||
| + | However, through this final portion of the chapter, it indicates how Western comics can | ||
| + | depart from generic norms, constructing a Western space that is much more subversive than | ||
| + | other forms of the genre. At a rhetorical level, the Western comic can allow the reader to | ||
| + | challenge the tropes and conventions of the Western (and the society that it represents). Not | ||
| + | only offering a space of contestation for readers, however, the Western comics also allow for | ||
| + | creator response to the mythologised West. To this effect, the Western comic can contribute | ||
| + | fresh perspectives into the ever-expanding corpus that surrounds the genre. The Western | ||
| + | comic can provide something there beyond the simplistic triumphal narratives, and aspirational | ||
| + | and heroic idealism, and it is this subversive and resistant demeanour that warrants further | ||
| + | study. (172) | ||
