Deadline for abstracts: 31 AUGUST 2010
Length: 2,500-7,500 words with maximum 10,000 WORDS
Call for papers for a collection of critical essays on various aspects of or approaches to Dave Sim's comic book Cerebus, both a scholarly and popular, though coherent, companion (and introduction) to the series.
Any subject matter is welcome, so long as it pertains to Dave Sim and/or Cerebus.
Some recommendations of subjects that in which I am most interested:
Discussion of 1970's comics scene in which Sim first started to contribute together with a discussion of the various influences on Cerebus (Howard the Duck, Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja)
Cerebus as satire of the comics medium (The Roach, "reads," etc)
