It's not often that you get to send two book manuscripts off on the same day, but I've just submitted the final proofs for "Chester Brown," out in April from @upmississippi.bsky.social, & the revisions for "Crossing Lines: Comics about Human Migration," out sometime next year from U of Toronto P 🎉

’Super-Girls of the Future’ is out today! Ask a librarian to get you a copy (or buy it here www.routledge.com/p/book/97810...) if you’re into superhero comics, girlhood studies, comics studies, Ahmedian affect theory, or just want to know why and how Ms Marvel changed super-girls as we knew them.
