Hello all,
Just a quick message to let you know that the third instalment of our regular Graphic Medicine column is now available at the Comics Forum website (http://comicsforum.org). This edition is by Maria Vaccarella, and is entitled ‘‘The Epilepsies of the War’ in David B’s Black Paths’. Well worth a look for those of you who are interested in the works of this major writer/artist following his hugely successful Epileptic.
I’m also delighted to announce that Comics Forum will be teaming up with the forthcoming Comics & Conflicts conference (taking place at the Imperial War Museum in London on the 19th and 20th of August, see http://www.comicafestival.com/index.php/events/detail/conference_comics_conflict/ for more details and ticket prices), to offer a digital archive of the papers presented at the conference along with some other material. This is the first time we’ll be trying something like this, and it’s part of Comics Forum’s remit to help develop scholarly resources online. Although we’re still ironing out the technical kinks with this one, the hope is to be able to provide a central archive for various conferences, so if you are a conference director and would be interested in collaborating in future please do get in touch with me. Keep an eye on the site for further announcements on this collaboration as we move forward with the project.
As always, any questions or comments on these projects are welcome by private email or via the website.
Best wishes,
Ian
Ian Hague
Director, Comics Forum
