Welcome to the The Medieval Comics Project Blog. The Medieval Comics Project (MCP) was first launched in August 2003 as a resource for scholars, educators, and enthusiasts of the Middle Ages. The website will be relaunched in the future, but, in the meantime, this blog, alongside The Arthur of the Comics Project Blog (associated with our sibling project The Arthur of the Comics Project) has been conceived as a way to catch up on new and forthcoming comics as well as commentary on previous comics and scholarship on medieval-themed comics. We also hope that the blog(s) can serve as a forum to generate new scholarship on this much-neglected form of popular medievalism.

The Medieval Comics Project, sponsored by The Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture, is an ongoing effort conducted by a small (but dedicated) group of comics scholars, Arthurian enthusiasts, and medievalists to compile a comprehensive listing of the representations of the medieval in the comics medium. The corpus is international in scope and extends as far back as (at least) the 1920s. We welcome your help in achieving our goal.
