This is shown not only through main characters and storylines, but also through supporting roles, staging, and visual details.

Comics reveal how characters experience historical reality, how colonial ideologies and imagery are reproduced and reinforced, and also how these ideologies are critically examined through the portrayal of conversations and inner thoughts in which criticism is expressed or prevailing views are called into question.After all, comics show how characters undergo historical reality, how colonial ideologies and images are reproduced and perpetuated, but also how they are criticized through the depiction of conversations and thoughts in which criticisms are expressed or views are questioned.
