Call for Proposals

 

Inks: The Journal of the Comics Studies Society

From the Archives

 

“From the Archives” will be a regular department in Inks, featuring illustrated articles highlighting distinctive comics and cartoon collections available for teaching and research at libraries, archives, or museums, as well as occasionally sharing rarely seen historical materials from private collections.  The goal is to surface little-known or hidden titles, artists or archival materials to inspire and inform the work of comics scholars and teachers.

 

Proposals should include a description of the “archive” to be shared along with an abstract of the introductory essay designed to contextualize the materials for further study or use in teaching.   Length of the introductory essay will vary depending on the nature of the collection and the approach of the author but should generally be between 2,000 and 4,000 words.

Please send 250-500 word abstracts briefly describing the collection along with example illustrations and a 2-page CV (or 250 word biographical statement) to Jenny E. Robb at [log in to unmask].
