Featured Post: Webcomics: New Horizons for Graphic Narrative

This semester, I asked the students in my Graphic Novel Class to collaborate on designing, producing, and publishing their own webcomics, after first working on a collectively authored book on webcomics. Working in small groups, they used standalone WordPress installations running ComicPress to create their comic sites, and each group used networks like Twitter and Facebook to spread the word.

Overall, they produced some great work, and I encourage you to take a look at it! Their material is variously hip, silly, meta, absurd, erudite and eclectic, and more often than not, they’re pretty dang funny.

Check them out:
“Left of Reason”
“Tuffer and Willie”
“Marion’s Knight”
“The Adventures of Kyle and Steve”
“In Libris”
“The Dropsies”
