For our first Comics Studies Reading Group meeting this Fall, we’ll be reading Mariko Tamaki & Steve Pugh’s multiple Eisner Award-winning graphic novel, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass<\/a> (2019)<\/em>. For fans of Harley,\u00a0Birds of Prey<\/em>, or the recent\u00a0Suicide Squad<\/em> films, this book offers a unique take on the coming-of-age story and on a character that’s broken through a lot of barriers in her history.<\/p>\n

The reading group is open to UNT faculty, students, staff, or community members who want to read and discuss comics, graphic novels, manga, anime, film, grapnic narrative, or comic art for the purposes of research, teaching, creating comics, or just enjoying as fans and collectors. We ask that all participants be respectful, thoughtful, and open to the ideas, feelings, and experiences of others in the group.\u00a0

We’ll be meeting via Zoom on Saturday, October 2, 2021, at 1 p.m. If you’re interested in joining us, please contact john.martin@unt.edu<\/a> to receive the Zoom link.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For our first Comics Studies Reading Group meeting this Fall, we’ll be reading Mariko Tamaki & Steve Pugh’s multiple Eisner Award-winning graphic novel, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass (2019).
