Sponsored by the Society for the Study of Popular Culture and the Middle Ages, the Arthurian Comics Discussion List was founded by Michael A. Torregrossa in July 2000 to promote intellectual discussion and debate on and to furthur interest in one of the least researched media of post-medieval Arthuriana in popular culture: Arthurian-themed comics, a form of Arthuriana in existance since at least the 1920s. The corpus, which includes thousands of examples, encompasses all forms of the comics medium, including panel cartoons (as depicted in THE FAR SIDE and HAGAR THE HORRIBLE), comic books (such as THE BLACK KNIGHT, CAMELOT 3000, EXCALIBUR and NEW EXCALIBUR, KNEWTS OF THE ROUND TABLE, LADY PENDRAGON, or LEGENDS OF CAMELOT), comic strips (notably PRINCE VALIANT and OAKY DOAKS), graphic albums and novels (for example, BATMAN: THE CHALICE and UTHER THE HALF-DEAD KING), manga (like AVALON HIGH: CORONATION), and webcomics (such as ARTHUR, KING OF TIME AND SPACE).
List members are also invited to contribute to the building of our online databases THE ARTHUR OF THE COMICS (http://Arthur-of-the-Comics.org) and THE MEDIEVAL COMICS PROJECT (http://MedievalComicsProject.org). We also seek potential contributors to an essay collection, THE COMICS GET MEDIEVAL, exploring the representation of the medieval in the comics.
