Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):
I have been mining Arthurian comics for several years now and am anxious to
explore other topics while I wait for new primary sources to be invented. My
focus on the medieval and the romance continues, however, as I continue to
search for connections between comics, medieval and early modern Carnival,
Dante, Moby Dick, and more. While I have always presented in the Arthurian
section of Pop Culture, that may change.
I have recently completed a young adult Arthurian novel called "Knight
of Pendragon," and I continue to write comics, film scripts, short
stories, and other work whenever possible.
