Sorry to have missed this:
Forrest C. Helvie recently presented on "When the Present Makes Contact with the Past: Comic Adaptations and Translations of Medieval and Early Modern Sources" at the 34th Annual Medieval and Renaissance Forum, Plymouth State University, on Saturday, 20 April. The essay is now on the website of Sequart Research & Literacy Organization at http://sequart.org/magazine/22328/when-the-present-makes-contact-with-the-past-comic-adaptations-and-translations-of-medieval-and-early-modern-sources/. Apparently, this is an early (or alternate?) version of the essay Helvie published in The Once and Future Classroom (at http://www.teamsmedieval.org/ofc/Spring2013Comics.html), which I posted on earlier this summer.

Helvie on Teaching Comics
Came across the following by accident. It should be of value; Forrest does good, interesting work (both in Medieval Studies and Comics Studies).

Medieval Comics News Updates
Two quick updates today, both related to blog posts.
Michael A. Johnson of UT Austin asks "Are Comics Medieval?" at the Pencil Panal Page blog and gives a heads up to the work of the Medieval Comics Project.
Medievalist.net includes the query "The first ever comic book?" over at Medieval News in reference to a tumblr posting by Damien Kempf highlighting "A medieval comic book", further evidence of sequential art in medieval manuscript illumination.

Update April 2013
A quick update.
Time and technology continue to conspire against me. Consequently, all activities and functions of The Medieval Comics Project have been cancelled for 2013 and 2014. No sessions will be run at PCA or any other venue.
I do, however, hope to have an update on the status of the Comics Get Medieval collections by the summer months.

2013 Session Updates
A much belated notice:
The 2013 sessions of "The Comics Get Medieval" solicited for both the Popular Culture Association annual conference and the Plymouth State University Medieval and Renaissance Forum have been cancelled. Individuals who have submitted a proposal will receive an email later in the month and preference (if desired) for future sessions.
Contributors to "The Comics Get Medieval" collection should expect an update on the status of the project in the spring.
