About

Forty years ago, the publication of Maus, Watchmen, and The Dark Knight Returns challenged how literature, history, and popular culture engaged with sequential art. This roundtable brings together scholars across rhetoric, creative writing, literary studies, and visual culture to ask: What did 1986 truly inaugurate in comics studies and how do these landmark texts continue to resonate in the popular arts?
