I also teach a course titled "Literature of the Graphic Word," which is an academic look the literary base in comics, comix, animation, and related materials. In that course I also teach teaching candidates how to use graphic materials in the classroom, how to teach using comics. I'm always looking for new ideas, materials, and folks to bounce ideas off, so I hope to get some discourse going here on the relative value of comics in education.

Tony,

We are definitely a good example of an 'academic' application of comic books. I'd love to speak with you further, if you like. Please feel free to reach out to me at jamie at marveldatabase dot com.
