Day 28: Centre for Comics Studies

We went to the University of Dundee's Centre for Comics Studies today.


It was awesome.


One of the first things we did after arriving was to look at some of Dave Gibbon's original art for Watchmen from the1980s.

He had mailed them to Dundee where they were stored in a warehouse until they were recently found by comics studies students and featured in an exhibition.


We then had a mini lecture about comics studies and the Dundee Comics Creative Space we were meeting in. 


 While some of the CEPA-arranged visits of the past month were not quite so exciting, this one was really interesting and engaging.


As a mini workshop, we sat down and had some blank comic strips in which we each drew one panel and then passed it to the next person.


The results were pretty hilarious, especially since only about two of our group members had drawing skills.


After the excitement of our comics studies visit, we had a free day to catch up on laundry and work on our homework assignments that were due in the evening.
