On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the PowerPoint presentations of the poster presenters will be available to read in printed “poster books,” then the scholars will be present at this poster session to discuss their presentations in small-group and one-on-one discussions.

Anne Hoyer (University of Heidelberg) traces the linguistic and thematic changes of the popular Scottish comic strip Oor Wullie. Anita McDaniel (University of North Carolina-Wilmington) traces the effect of female creators on the superhero genre, both on the page and behind the pen. Clayton Moore (Apple Valley Unified School District) responds to the death of Captain America and the New Gods from a creator’s rights perspective. Jarod Shurtleff (Henderson State University) examines the thematic loss of humanity among zombie fighters in Robert Kirkham’s series The Walking Dead.Geek Chic poster panel: Kom Kunyosying (University of Oregon) analyzes the role of the geek as melodramatic hero in Charles Burns’ Black Hole, R. Crumb's My Troubles with Women, and Chris Ware’s Jimmy Corrigan; and Carter Soles (University of Oregon) argues that Kevin Smith’s “dueling personas” of unapologetic comic book fan and aspiring cinematic artist have always worked together harmoniously to advance his career in both mediums. Comics and Psychology poster panel: A group of students from Henderson State University explore the psychology of comic book characters, including the Martian Manhunter, Batman, the Winter Soldier, Jamie Madrox, Warren Ellis’ protagonists, and others; Erica Ash, Tommy Cash, Carly L.
