The ComFor editorial team is pleased to expand the digital presence of the Society for Comics Studies (ComFor) and now also be represented on Instagram as comfor_comicforschung. Supervised by Laura Glötter, the ComFor Instagram account will be filled with appealing and relevant content from the world of comics and comics research. ComFor is intensifying its social media activities in a fruitful cooperation with the Committee for Comics Studies of (GfM), represented by Barbara M. Eggert. This collaboration, which just began at the GfM annual conference, promises a multifaceted and informative presence on Instagram. The team has developed a varied concept that offers new insights into various aspects of comics research and culture every Sunday:
“Frisch erschienen”: Presentations of new comics studies publications
“Comic Fact”: Concise insights into the world of comics
“Comic Empfehlung”: Curated reading recommendations (suggestions welcome and can be sent by email to redaktion@comicgesellschaft.de!)
“Panelplausch”: Interactive exchange with the community
The initiative aims to promote dialogue between comics researchers, enthusiasts, and the interested public, while at the same time communicating current developments in comics research. We cordially invite anyone interested to follow our Instagram presence and actively participate in an exciting discourse about comics.
