The Comic Research Abstract: Graphic Medicine as Interdisciplinary Health Research (Example: Intergenerational Storytelling).

This article explores the rise of comics-based research (CBR) as an innovative method for disseminating and translating academic findings to broader audiences. Rooted in the established use of comics in technical communication, CBR takes the unique strengths of graphic media-accessibility, multimodal engagement, and visual storytelling-to communicate complex concepts to diverse audiences, particularly in health-related disciplines. A recent development in this field is the comic research abstract, a concise, visually enriched alternative to traditional textual abstracts.
