ImageTexT is a peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of comics and related media. We are published by the English Department at the University of Florida with support from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Our content is available free of charge, and regular issues of ImageTexT will be published three times per year.
Deadline for submissions: April 1st, 2010
ImageTexT is still accepting submissions for an an upcoming special issue on the work of Alan Moore and adaptation.
Throughout his career, Moore has displayed a willingness to adapt and appropriate the plots, characters, settings, and themes from traditional narratives and the works of other authors into his own writing. Additionally, Moore's work itself continues to be the focus of adaptation, typically in the form of big-budget Hollywood films. We are seeking articles that deal with the work of Alan Moore and adaptation in any and every sense, whether that means analyzing the transitions of comics like Watchmen and V for Vendetta into film or analyzing the incorporation of folk tale and literature elements in works like Lost Girls and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
On behalf of Donald Ault and the Editorial Staff of ImageTexT, I am pleased to announce that ImageTexT Volume 5, Issue 1 is now available.
This General Issue features articles from Juda Bennett and Cassandra Jackson, Brandy Ball Blake, Frank Bramlett, Theo Finigan, DT Kofoed, Aaron Mauro and Benjamin Stevens, and a review by Terry Harpold.
