CFP: Arthur Refracted: Representations of Arthur across Comics
Special Issue for Arthuriana
Email: jkeeton@ur.rochester.edu
Abstracts Due: January 19th, 2024
*If selected for the special issue, full articles will be expected June 7th.

Arthuriana seeks short abstracts (100-250 words) for a special issue on comics and the Arthurian legend. The comics do not have to be specifically about Arthur, but can draw on Arthurian legend in apparent, significant, and meaningful ways and can engage with myriad genres from superhero comics to more independent works. We are especially interested in papers that examine comics where the Arthurian legend is problematized, challenged, and remixed/rebooted while deploying perspectives from comics studies, visual studies, and cultural studies.
