WANTED: REVIEWERS OF COMIC BOOK SERIES (Journal MELUS)
Final Copy Deadline: October 1, 2006
In 2007, the journal MELUS will be publishing a special issue on multi-ethnic American graphic narrative (comics/comix/graphic novels). Along with the critical essays and the regular book reviews, I would like to include reviews of current and ongoing comic book series that address ethnoracial issues in the U.S., either directly or indirectly. Pertinent series could include a variety of topics and genres, from traditional superhero narratives to alternative comics of any kind. Series may refer explicitly to American ethnic concerns?like those found in the Hernandez brother?s LOVE AND ROCKETS?or explore issues such as ethnoraical identity, marginalization, and border crossing in more subtle ways, such as that found in Bill Willingham?s FABLES or Mike Mignola?s HELLBOY.
Please contact me as soon as possible if you have a review recommendation. I am open to any suggestions for possible review titles, but potential reviewers should keep in mind the subject of the special issue: the multi-ethnic scope of American graphic narrative.
Reviews of current comic book series should be no more than 1,000 words. The deadline for review manuscripts is October 1, 2006.
