The Joint International Conference of Graphic Novels and Comics
July 5-8 2011
Manchester Metropolitan University
The Conference of Graphic Novels and Comics 2011 was a joint venture of three comics journals: Studies in Comics, European Comic Art and The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics. The editors of the journals met after the 2010 conference held in Manchester, and agreed that we should work together to support the growing field of comics research. Our aim would be to hold a comics conference or symposium each year at different venues and tie in the journals with current debate in the field.
