Comica Symposium 2011
Transitions 2: New Directions in Comics Studies
A one-day symposium promoting new research and the multi-disciplinary academic study of comics/comix/manga/bande dessinée and other forms of sequential art.

Where? Rooms B36 and B04, Main Building, Malet Street/Torrington Square, Birkbeck, University of London, London WC1E 7HX
