“Graven Images: Religion in Comic Books & Graphic Novels” Book Collection
The success of the “Graven Images: Religion in Comic Books & Graphic Novels” conference generated publisher interest in a print book collection. The conference organizers are now inviting supplemental submissions from further individuals of 500-word abstracts.

Works: MAUS, PERSEPOLIS, PALESTINE, TESTAMENT, Chick Tracts, Kyle Baker's KING DAVID, PREACHER, MARKED!, CAIRO, THE LONE AND LEVEL SANDS, SOME NEW KIND OF SLAUGHTER, HELLBOY, CROSSING MIDNIGHT, and Virgin Comics
Topics: Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Chinese Spiritualities, the afterlife, atheism, portrayals of pious characters, historical religion, fictional practices
