Introducing The C-S Post. A new space for Comics Studies scholars

Yes, we finally decided to have a blog!

Indeed. When we decided it was time for the ICLA Research Committee on Comics Studies and Graphic Narrative to have a website, we thought it would be appropriate to also include a blog. It was, in fact, an almost obligatory choice. For years, the organisation of panels and other initiatives by members of our group has aimed not only at the legitimate satisfaction of our geeky egos(!) as scholars of comics and graphic narratives of all kinds, but also at encouraging dialogue about a discipline that has taken a long time to make its way into the broad ranks of academic disciplines considered worthy of being called such. Our intention to give Comics Studies a new status, deepen its contents and increase its reach can certainly benefit from such an established digital communication tool as a blog.

This space is not only open to members of our Research Committee, but to all scholars of Comics Studies (and of the disciplines with which it is in dialogue) who wish to have their say on the more or less established topics of our field of research, propose new topics for discussion, present publications and events, and more.

That said, welcome to this new Comics Studies Agora. We look forward to hearing from you!
