Robin Hood Comics Scholarship

I've been working recently on assessing the history of medieval comics scholarship. Here are the details based on the various meetings of The International Association for Robin Hood Studies based at The University of Rochester. I had access to all of the programs but that for 2007 and 2011 (to be held July 8-10).
