Some of you may remember my
old monster post on Ditko's Spider-Man of almost two years ago, and how I promised there would be a second part to it. Well, that second part mutated into a proper scholarly article, "Abstract Form: Sequential Dynamism and Iconostasis in Abstract Comics and in Steve Ditko's
Amazing Spider-Man," which is now available in Matt Smith and Randy Duncan's new edited volume,
Critical Approaches to Comics: Theories and Methods. Please check it out if you get a chance.
Also, I have some abstract comics coming out in periodicals: in the Canadian literary journal,
Carousel, in the Yugoslavian comics journal
Stripolis (actually, they came out in
Stripolis no. 2, earlier this year, but I haven't seen a copy yet), and in the Swedish anthology
C'est Bon, I guess in issue 13. Having already been published in Swiss, Portuguese, and Australian anthologies, I guess this is all part of my project of world domination...
