I shouldn't be surprised at this, after all I'm a media graduate, but the idea of academic study of comic books still tickles me.

So I got a journal alert at work - I get these every day to let me know about new academic journals made available on the net.

This one's called "ImageText" http://www.english.ufl.edu/imagetext/

I don't think we're adding it to the catalogue, but I think I might be bookmarking it myself!
