Comics Forum director Ian Hague has emailed to say that he has posted a new paper by Isabelle Delorme on the website. The title is The first Afghanistan war through the glare of the Photographer and Emmanuelle Guibert and the paper was presented at the conference Comics & Conflicts: Stories of War in Comics, Graphic Novels & Manga 19/08/2011 – 20/08/2011 at the Imperial War Museum, London. I’m posting it here because of the medical relevance of Guibert’s Graphic Novel.

One More Thing
As I mentioned, I’ve been editing audio from the Leeds Comics Forum Graphic Medicine conference all day. So eager to share these with you soon.

held on Thursday 17th November 2011 at Leeds Art Gallery Report by Ian Williams We were very excited to hold the third conference on comics and medicine as part of the Thought Bubble Comics Forum and are very grateful to the Comics Forum director, Ian Hague, for inviting us to take part.

Penn State College of Medicine’s Course on Graphic Storytelling and Medical Narratives
In February, 2009, 16 medical students in their final year at Penn State College of Medicine enrolled in an elective course in Medical Humanities called “Graphic Storytelling and Medical Narratives.” The course was developed to show fourth-year medical students “how graphics and text can be used to effectively communicate complex medical narratives, and [to] develop their own stories into graphic depictions.” Taught seminar-style, the course requirements were minimal: participate in all classroom activities, be good colleagues to one another, and produce a short, original, illustrated story, or “Comic.” Of course not all medical students are naturally gifted writers or artists,… Read More
