BINGO!

An Excellent Beginner’s Resource

Filed under: Comics,Criticism and Commentary,Gender — Tags: , — Hannah Dame @ 7:31 pm

I stumbled on Lonely Gods quite unexpectedly, but it was worth the visit. Lonely Gods was created as preparation and collection for Cosmo Felton’s (the maintainer) Undergraduate thesis on the issues and treatment of four different minorities in comics: GLBT, Women (in Batman), the Mentally Ill, and the Disabled.  For those who might not be fully familiar with issues involving minorities in comics, it’s an excellent beginner’s resource, as Felton covers each minority’s progression in an accessible and concise manner.
