I’m doing a panel with another author next week at a book festival, putting our two books side by side along the common thread of “borders” (my comic, his travel journal). I’ve had such fun drawing 6 panels trying to build thematic & visual bridges. Thinking through comics is so productive for opening up dialogues. (Ha! I hope this actually works in practice on a stage, however…)

#CallForPapers for Anthology: #Batman... Also Starring
Many #academic texts focus on Batman as a cultural figure in comics as well as in #films, #television programs, and video #games. However, like all great superheroes, Batman is as much defined by his supporting cast as he is by his costume, abilities or origin. While there is no shortage of scholarship devoted to his most famous sidekicks and his most popular villains, little critical attention has been paid to the majority of his cast.
