I teach A' Level Media Studies (16-18) but as yet haven't been able to get comics very high on the agenda!
I am in the process of putting together a small press magazine dedicated to comics and comics history, by the name of Algol. It will be available via mail order and will (hopefully) also be on the WWW as an e-zine if I get my act together. Two major projects for Algol and Demon Star Press - the small press publishing house producing it are: · Dan Dare, a history of the many incarnations of the character from 1950 - 199? I want as many people to contact me with their memories, ideas etc on this subject, · I am in the process of trying to find Peter Sadecky, the author of 'Octobriana and the Russian Underground'. I have a few leads and hope to be able to at least verify or discredit his claims fairly soon.
I did a degree in media studies and soon found I was able to combine my interests in comics and my interests with the study of media as a whole, and spend lots of time researching comics. Its great to see the area flourishing so as an academic discipline!

Macan, DarkoDubovacka 10, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia -- dmacan@alf.tel.hr, dmacan@jagor.srce.hr -- Check out http://comics.cro.net/ (Croatian Interactive Encyclopedia of Comics) - it's not my page but I've contributed somewhat and it's generally considered a good page (caveat: mainly in Croatian, some English)
Once upon the time there was a hard-disk with bibliography of my articles saved on it. Now it rests in peace and I don't have a bibliography any more...:( Let's just say that I wrote articles, reviews, essays, columns and conducted interviews about comics since, I think, 1989, in various Croatian newspapers, general magazines, trade journals, fanzines and web-pages (better half of it under the pen-name of Cecile Quintal). Since all those articles were in Croatian, you wouldn't be able to read them anyway so the loss of the bibliography is not the great one (except for me). The only article that I wrote in English is a brief and opinioned overview of a Croatian comics history that's going to be published in Stripburger #15. Oh, I did graduate history by writing about "Croatian Comics 1945-1954 as a Historical Source". It's in Croatian, too, so tough luck...:)
I write/draw comics and write fiction. The bibliography of that was on the same hard-disk so that's another reading chore you're going to be spared of. I'll list only the collections/books in order not to look like I'm taking easy way out of this questionnaire: · Citati ("Quotations", a collection of short comics drawn by Edvin Biukovic), in Croatian, 1993. · Strossmayer (a graphic novel on the life of 19th century Croatian bishop, drawn by Radovan Domagoj Devlic and Dusan Gacic), in Croatian, 1993 · Grendel Tales: Devils and Deaths (trade paperback collecting the six issues of the series, drawn by Edvin Biukovic), in English (though available in French and German, too), 1996. · Star Wars X-Wing: The Phantom Affair (trade paperback collecting the four issues of the series, co-written with Mike Stackpole, drawn by Edvin Biukovic), in English (though available in French and German), 1997. · Knjige lazu! ("Books Lie!", a collection of six interconnected stories about kids, fiction), in Croatian, 1997 Teaching--Comics Related: taught schoolkids cartooning for a year, went mad, quitted. Except for that I've held a couple of lectures on comic-book writing. Not that those taught anyone anything.

first-year English/grammar and composition
I'm interested in issues of pedagogy, especially as they relate to comics: Rius, the "for beginners" series of comix, fact-based comix and comix journalism (Spain, Joe Sacco, Jack Jackson, Jessica Abel), comics adaptations/Classics Illustrated/Tarzan, Understanding Comics. I'm interested in overtly political comix in general, including the undergrounds and Wobbly and socialist comics of the 20s and 30s. Currently working on how to theorize Rius and the "for beginners" style in the context of ever-multiplying Marxist aesthetic criticisms, many tending to concentrate on unconscious or covert political content/style.
Who will write the great book on Josie and the Pussycats and its contributions to feminist thought?

Murphy, Michael J.Dept. of Art History and Archaeology, Washington University, St. Louis USA -- mjmurphy@artsci.wustl.edu Comments: I'm a graduate student of American visual culture at Washington University in St. Louis. I've been interested in popular visual forms like photography, cinema and advertising for some time now. I'm just now beginning to form ideas about a dissertation on gay comic strips and liberation identities between 1965-1990. I'm interested in the ways the comics medium fosters the development of imaginary communities which transmit gay and lesbian culture, as an alternative to traditional family-transmitted culture. I particularly keen on the kind of spectatorship necessitated by comics and how this, together with serialized narratives, participates in the formation of minority cultural communities. I won't start on this project til next spring. I'm aware of very little literature on gay comics, but suggestions, thoughts, resources, criticisms are gratefully received. 27 April 2000 Naepel, OliverHome: Dueesbergweg 17 / 48153 Muenster / Germany; Institution: Westfaelische Wilhelms-Universitaet Muenster: Institut fuer Didaktik der Geschichte (fall 2000) -- keutheo@uni-muenster.de -- Phone/Fax: 0251-7801877
