Associate Professor Maggie Flinn Nominated for Eisner Comic Industry Award

Associate Professor Maggie Flinn was nominated for the Will Eisner Comic Industry Award for Best Academic/Scholarly Work for Drawing (in) the Feminine: Bande dessinée and Women. Drawing (in) the Feminine celebrates and examines the richness of contemporary women’s production in French and Francophone comics art and considers the history of representations made by both dominant and marginalized creators. Bridging historical and contemporary comics output, these essays illuminate the interfaces among genre, gender, and cultural history. Winners of the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards will be announced at a gala ceremony during Comic-Con in July.
