Hey, It's Eisner Time Again!

Added 2021-02-14 17:39:36 +0000 UTC

2020 was a rough year for all of us, but in spite and because of that, we are proud to have been able to keep giving our readers some comics joy by continuing to produce our very special brand of content. From reviews to essays to listicles and more, we are pretty happy with what we had to offer for 2020. Here are some of the highlights that we've included in our 2021 Eisner Award submission:

Series

Over the years, we have developed a number of special series. Focusing on everything from academic coverage to spotlighting various aspects of the industry, we pride ourselves on writing about the topics that aren’t always at the forefront elsewhere.

Comics Academe

Celebrating its seventh year, Comics Academe is one of the first online spaces for public-facing comics studies scholarship, becoming a platform for young scholars. Several articles have been included on syllabi across the United States, Canada, and abroad. Comics Academe is curated by PhD candidates Kate Tanski, who also serves as Comics Studies Society Member At Large, and Adrienne Resha, who is the current President of the Graduate Student Caucus of the Comics Studies Society.

Pubwatch

Going well beyond solicitations and press releases, our team of Pubwatchers provide monthly rundowns on the news, insights, and mini reviews for various publishers. https://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/category/pubwatch/

Four-Colour Faves

Who doesn't love talking about their favourite characters? In this series, we interview each other to find out what it is about certain characters that make us love them.

Remembering Charlee Jacob

Each year, Doris V. Sutherland takes us on a journey through the darker edges of comics and books. This year, her gothic series focus is on remember writer Charlee Jacob through a monthly series of essays analyzing her work. https://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2020/01/remembering-charlee-jacob-this-symbiotic-fascination/

Cover Girl

You can’t judge a book by its cover, but covers are what sell comics. In this monthly series, we analyze the cover of a recent comic that features one or more women.

Cook Your Comics

What's more fun than reading comics? Why, eating them of course!

Essays and Features

Our essays and features are where our passion truly shines. We feature articles that entertain and amuse, and those that come from a place of pain shaped by the harm caused by stories that ignore, co-opt, or deny the representation every fan deserves. We provide in-depth opinion pieces that can cut deep or make our readers smile because they feel that they have finally been seen through our words.

Reviews

From large publishers to independent, small press, and webcomics, we pride ourselves on highlighting the diversity of comics as a storytelling medium.

Interviews

Often asking the questions other sites are missing, WWAC strives to make the interview process as fun and interesting for the interviewee as it is for our readers.
