This essay describes how comics may offer a new paradigm of reflexivity : in them the window can play the role of the mirror and replace subject-based reflexivity with code-based reflexivity. Windows in comics are analogues of the comics’ panels and they frame the page as do façades of buildings. Various artists (from Will Eisner to Pascal Rabaté) use the spectacular potential of the window to explicitly highlight their own work and create new forms of graphic novels that deconstruct or else reconstruct representation.
