The article explores documentary material in the context of comic art and is divided into two parts. The first part presents comprehensive analysis of the expressive capacities and limitations of comic art, along with its constitutive elements, with close attention to their interdependence. The first part therefore establishes a basis for comparing the representation of documentary content in photography and comic art, which forms the focus of the second part of the article. Through this comparison, the study reveals how photography, too, is shaped by its contextual framing and explores where authenticity lies in both media in relation to the presenting of documentary material.
