Kathleen Venema replied to the topic Citing Comics in the forum
Comics and Graphic Narratives on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoHi Amanda — I’ve got an article on a graphic narrative about to appear in a collection, and I had to get copyright permissions from all the publishers involved (i.e. Canadian, US, and British publishers); perhaps check with the anthology’s editors — perhaps you’ll get lucky, and they will look after getting copyright permissions for you!?

Comics and Graphic Narratives on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoHi, Amanda,
I don’t know if this helps, but I recently wrote an essay about comics for publication, and I had to get permission to use them. I got lucky because one of them was creator-owned, so I could just contact her through Twitter, but the other was owned by Dynamite Comics and was unsuccessful in contacting them.
This was for the journal…[Read more]

thank you so much!
I feel very grateful and slightly guilty to have provoked such a detailed response. I had a look at some of the lists you suggest, and, of course, I have my own favorites (some of which you mention), but I was curious to see what people here in the MLA forum would say…
P.S. Among the books I haven’t read yet,…[Read more]

Jeremy Douglass replied to the topic literary scholarship for non-academic pleasure in the forum
Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoLiterary scholarship for book-loving non-academics? That is a really interesting (and quite broad) challenge.
