The Comics
Studies Conference invites proposals for scholarly presentations, book talks,
slide talks, roundtables, professional-focus panels, workshops and other panels
centered on sequential art and comics in any form (graphic novels, comic
strips, comic books, manga, web comics, etc.), comics-centric works, or
adaptations of comics materials, genres, or figures into other media for its
first annual meeting, held in conjunction with the Chicago Comic and
Entertainment Expo (C2E2).

Proposals will
be refereed by juried review by the Institute for Comics Studies Conference Board.

Proposals that concern comics produced in or otherwise connected to
Chicago, and proposals by Chicago-area faculty, scholars, and comics professionals
are especially encouraged. 
Professionals

proposals for book talks.  
Additionally ICS will provide assistance with recruiting professionals
for participation in CSC panels.
