The Comics Journal is now a (mostly) online publication. I’ll leave it to others to wonder about the larger implications for the future of comics, criticism, the Journal, and print culture. But one immediate result is that my writing on comics will be appearing more regularly.
It’s only been two weeks since the debut of the new online version of the Journal, and already I have three articles there.
Two are short reviews — one of The Simpsons’ Tree House of Horror #15 (the comic, not the tv show); the other of Shaun Tan’s illustrated short story collection, Tales from Outer Suburbia.
More importantly, though, there is also the first installment of a four-part essay on “The Spanish Civil War, Cartooning, and the Cultural Imagination.” (Truth to tell, I’m particularly proud of this piece.)
