Section Info:
Some comics have been banned while others have been dismissed as insignificant. In this class we will explore a variety of comic forms, including experimental art comics, super-hero comics, non-fiction comics, action-adventure manga, political webcomics, and adaptations of comics into movies. The main requirement of students in this class is that you read and come to class prepared to discuss ... comics! There are no formal papers or tests in this class; students will complete assignments involving podcasting, making mash-ups of comics, and creating mini-comics.
