The following article is now available to all viewers as part of a sample issue of Mechademia on Project Muse:
Rebecca Suter. "From Jusuheru to Jannu: Girl Knights and Christian Witches in the Work of Miuchi Suzue." Mechademia 4 (2009): 241-256.
Suter, a professor of Japanese Studies at the University of Sydney, offers a summary and discussion of Suzue's two-part manga Shirayuri no kishi (1975, Knight of the White Lily), a manga adaptation of the life of Joan of Arc. She also presents some interesting comments on the representations of warrior women in manga.
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.
