European Comic Art - new journal

This is not a journal that we subscribe to at the moment but it does look interesting.

ISSN 1754-3797(print) 1754-3800 (online)
European Comic Art is the first English-language scholarly publication devoted to the study of European-language graphic novels, comic strips, comic books and caricature. Published in association with the American Bande Dessinée Society and the International Bande Dessinée Society, European Comic Art builds on existing scholarship in French-language comic art and will be able to draw on the scholarly activities undertaken by both organisations.
European Comic Art is available in both print and online form and will serve as a forum where different theoretical and critical approaches, as well as national comics traditions, can meet.
We would particularly welcome articles in these areas:
The current 'manga-isation' of the European comics scene by Asian comics
Mutual influences of French and American comics
Feminist comic art and women cartoonists
Comics without words
Hergé and the clear-line school of cartooning
Cartoonist collectives and independent publishers since 1990
Genre and the Industry
Comics and digital media
The cartoonist as reporter
Comics in their historical context

Published twice a year, the first issue of the journal is available now
