Ian Horton, Roger Sabin, Nina Mickwitz and Ian Hague Les Coleman Collection: The Les Coleman Collection contains a significant collection of comics from North American underground [1968-1980] and alternative [1980-present] comic book movements. Perhaps the most significant component of the collection is a large collection of work by Robert Crumb. There are also collections of the work of Julie Douchet and Aleksandar Zograf, complete runs of classic counter-cultural comics Arcade, Bijou Funnies and Raw. In addition to comics Coleman also acquired various signed and limited edition prints by comic book artists such as Charles Burns, Joe Coleman, Joost Swarte, Archer Prewitt and Aline-Kominsky. There are also a large number of art, illustration and humour books from America, Australia, the UK and Europe (predominantly France and Belgium) including work by artists Roland Topor, Charles Addams, Edward Gorey, Saul Steinberg, HM Bateman, Glenn Baxter, Ivor Cutler, Maurice Henry, Sempé and Siné. The catalouge for this collection is available online.<http://archives.arts.ac.uk/Calmview/> Dr Ian Horton Reader in Graphic Communication Design School London College of Communication Elephant and Castle London SE1 6SB 02075149375 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ________________________________ From: UK Comic Scholars <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Mel Gibson <[log in to unmask]> Sent: 26 March 2018 13:32 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: FW: [COMIXSCHOLARS-L] 2 PhD positions in Comics Studies!
