We hope you have a great summer and we'll be back in the Fall with another exclusive newsletter! In Memorium: Consuela Francis The Comics Studies Society remembers Conseula Francis, Professor of English and Associate Provost for Curriculum at College of Charleston, who passed away on May 9, 2016 at the age of 43 from complications due to Leukemia. Her resonant contributions to the field of comics studies over the past decade often explored the complexities of race and memory in contemporary comics. Outside the academy, she never hesitated to share her love for Marvel superheroes (or anything by Matt Fraction) by bringing her expertise in comics to blogs, symposia, and venues ranging from HeroesCon in Charlotte to a HuffPost Live conversation about minority actors playing “white” superheroes. Much of Conseula’s published scholarship reflected her primary specialization in African American literary studies, including her recent monograph, The Critical Reception of James Baldwin, 1963-2010: "An Honest Man and a Good Writer.” As her research and teaching began to incorporate comics more frequently, Conseula applied her extensive background in reader response theory, narratology, and cultural studies to an analysis of visual narratives.

  • Using Young Adult Graphic Novels in Your Classroom
    USING YOUNG ADULT GRAPHIC NOVELS IN YOUR CLASSROOM A Common Core Teacher’s Guide Making the Case for Graphic Novels in the Classroom The fact is that your students are probably already reading graphic novels and have not told you because they worry, as you might, that sequential art is not “real” reading. Nothing could be further from the truth. Educators have published a number of studies in peer-reviewed scholarly journals which offer specific data to prove that students benefit from the use of comics in their education- al journey. Two such teachers are Dr. Nancy Frey and Dr. Douglas Fisher, who noticed that their students were reading manga, a Japanese comic format. When they investigated these book, their eyes were opened to a whole new world of reading that was already embraced by their pupils. In their article “Using Graphic Novels, Anime, and the Internet in an Urban High School,” they write: We now realize the power they [graphic novels] have for engaging students in authentic writing. These forms of popular culture provided a visual vocabulary of sorts for scaffold- ing writing techniques, particularly dialogue, tone, and mood. They saw that this type of storytelling had the power to help teach and reinforce the skills needed for the success of their students in the literacy-centered classroom. We invite you to do the same and to pass this knowledge on to your department chairs and administrators. If you are ready to bring these wonderful texts to your classroom, remember that you are not alone. The scholarship and the hundreds of teachers nationwide who have already effectively implemented graphic novels in their own classrooms will have your back.

    There’s a Graphic Novel for Everyone (Yes, Even You!) Shauna Darbyshire Wood Buffalo Regional Library Graphic Novels? Comics?! Manga?!? “The freedom of webcomics was what helped me find my audience without interference from an editor that would assume my work was “unrelatable.” You know, that popular euphemism.

The thesis argues that there has been a significant shift in the portrayals of lesbian and female bisexual characters, and their same-sex relationships, during this period, as well as a dramatic increase in the diversity of these stories for a young adult audience.
