CFP: David Kunzle Memorial articles re-solicited for IJOCA 27:2

David Kunzle Memorial

As many of you know, prominent comics scholar, David Kunzle, died January 1, 2024. In my view, there has not been any of us in comics studies who stood on David's level as a pioneer in the field.

With support of his widow, Marjoyrie Kunzle, I will devote a considerable amount of space in the International Journal of Comic Art, Vol. 27, No. 2, as a memorial to David.

I call upon the comics studies community to contribute essays about Prof. Kunzle, their interactions with him, how they benefited from his work, and/or more generally, what makes an important scholar, using David as a model.

The deadline is Dec 15, 2025. There will not be any specific limitations on number of words. If appropriate, include photographs or other illustrations.
