The Medieval Comics Project

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.

Helvie at Plymouth State Medieval Forum

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.
