ComFor member Giorgio Busi Rizzi, together with his co-editors Lorenzo Di Paola and Nicoletta Mandolini, has just published a special issue of the journal Studies in Comics (14/2023) focusing on “Comics Strike Back! Digital Forms, Digital Practices, Digital Audiences”.
The collection of current contributions is based on a conference of the same name which was held from July 12-14, 2022 at the University of Ghent and online. In addition to an introduction by the editors and a contribution by Rizzi and Di Paola (“A cyberpunk symphony of dystopian nightmares: Towards an archaeology of early digital comics”) the nine articles include essays by ComFor members Lukas R.A. Wilde (“Webcomics as mediation”) and Vanessa Ossa (together with Nicolle Lamerichs: “Fandom, algorithm, prompting: Reconsidering webcomics”).
