It is with deep regret that I write that The Virtual Society for the Study of Popular Culture and the Middle Ages has closed The Arthurian Comics Discussion List effective today. The listserv, which was active from July 2000 to September 2011, was our first and, I believe, most active list during the height of its lifetime. The archives of the list will remain accessible until further notice, but all future updates will only be featured on the blog.
