[Commlist] Black Comics Matter: Call for Commentary, Essays, and Reviews for Confessions of an Aca-Fan

*Call for Commentary, Essays, and Reviews: Black Comics Matter*

Henry Jenkins and William Proctor are planning to run on series 
on/Confessions of an Aca-Fan/focusing on creators-of-colour and/ or 
related comics to begin publication in the fall of 2020. We thought this 
would be an ideal time to explore and spotlight the range of comics, 
comic strips, and graphic novels created by artists and writers-of-color 
from as many perspectives as possible. To this, we ask potential 
contributors to consider writing commentaries, think pieces, essays, or 
reviews of comics and graphic novels in this area. There is no maximum 
word count, but we recommend that the minimum be around 1000 words or 
so. As far as upper limit is concerned, longer posts may be split into 
multiple installments.

Please email Billy Proctor (atbproctor /at/ bournemouth.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(bproctor /at/ bournemouth.ac.uk)>with proposals.

The following is a list of comics and graphic novels that scholars may 
consider writing about. You may of course have your own suggestions, so 
this should be in no way seen as exhaustive.

  * /Destroyer/(Victor Lavalle, et al)
