His fiction, criticism, and poetry have appeared in Rain Taxi, The Millions, Revolver, The Stockholm Review of Literature, Atomic, Five2One, The Amaranth Review, and elsewhere. He is also the author of The Ecstasy of Michaela: a novella (Valhalla Press). Course Description: Although comics now include a vast collection of different articulations of image and text, their shared history reflects the movement from strictly pulp publications on cheap paper created by assembly-line artists to complex stories with provocative images. This course follows the history of comic art from The Yellow Kid to global manifestations of the art form, such as Japanese manga and French BD. The development and range of image and textual forms, styles, and structures that differentiate the vast compendium of such work inform the discourse in class. Classes are primarily lecture with some discussion. Prerequisite: Introduction to Art and Design History 2 (may be taken concurrently) or instructor permission Outcomes: Demonstrate a familiarity with key styles, themes, and trends in the history of comic art. Identify the role historical, technical, cultural, and social change played in the development of comic art.
