Junji Ito’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s #Frankenstein was published in English in 2018 and won an Eisner Award for “Best Adaptation from Another Medium.” It’s both a faithful & idiosyncratic adaptation, showcasing Ito's mastery of horror storytelling within the comics medium.1/8 #Frankenstein

Do yourself a favor: Watch the trailer. Watch it *again*. Then, share it, widely as you can. I think Zack and his collaborators have put together something really special here.

This is such a great project, and happy to have had the opportunity to review it. Check it out below!

Special thanks to my UND colleague @justinwigard.bsky.social, who encouraged me to attend this amazing venue. I learned so much from brilliant scholars and artists from around the world. It was also a pleasure to visit San Diego and learn about the fantastic SDSU Center for Comics Studies.

He told us who he was all along - those who’ve gone along with it were good with it because it gave license to be their worst selves & because they thought the harm he would do would always be to others. My new comic also in Portuguese, w/sources & full alt text spinweaveandcut.com/draw-the-line/

Just published! A new @proghist.bsky.social lesson by Igor Sosa Mayor & @nabsiddiqui.bsky.social doi.org/10.46430/phe... Thanks to @justinwigard.bsky.social and @regan008.bsky.social for their reviews, and to @semantic-noodles.bsky.social for editing.

Hey #DigitalHumanities folks, I'd love your help! I'm putting together a list of sample projects for the history senior capstone. I'm looking for projects that are: - solo-authored - by a student - sustained engagements with a research q (akin to a 15-20 pg paper) - shared with student's permission

I was thinking how many of those urging Ai on the rest of us are people who really want to know how to answer what is expected of them. Which is so counter to what’s exciting about being human, about being curious & coming upon the unanticipated that takes you in unexpected directions. And is yours.

Please donate to the International Comic Arts Forum TODAY and help us reach our goal of $2,000 to fund grants for emerging scholars and other initiatives in comics studies. www.paypal.com/donate/?host...

I'm not on here much, BUT, figured I'd share: I've got a new(ish) piece out in LA RB that I'm pretty proud of, titled "Scars Prove You Lived: On Stephen Graham Jones’s 'The Angel of Indian Lake'". Check it out, if you're so inclined! lareviewofbooks.org/article/scar...
