Call For Papers

There is no doubt that comics have made themselves a place in the realm of arts, among more traditional ones like literature, music or cinema. With hundreds of conventions all over the world taking place every year, international prestigious awards, some work with several thousands of copies sold worldwide, specialized literature and museums, comic, are stronger than ever, reassuring its place between the arts.

We are glad to introduce the *1st Annual Comic Conference of the University of Seville*, where prestigious researchers and academic writers will converge in an unprecedented event, that will be the first of many to come in successive years.
