Scholarship by Jason Tondro

Here's a list of presentations and publications by Jason Tondo. Its a nice mix showing the potential for presentations at both popular-culture and traditionally non-popular-culture conferences. As the fruit of his labors, Jason has produced the essay “Camelot in Comics,” in King Arthur in Popular Culture (2002) and a dissertation on medieval comics: “An Imaginary Mongoose: Comics, Canon, and the Superhero Romance” (Univ. of California, Riverside, 2007), which is underrevision and set to be published by McFarland as Superheroes of the Round Table: Comics Connections to Medieval and Renaissance Literature. While writing his dissertation, Jason was also interviewed for the online magazine Sequential Tart.
