Science in comics went pop in Venice at the “FramingtheUnreal” conference! What a wild and wonderful opportunity to explore Spiderman and Joker labs in comics and animated comics adaptations, and learn more about multiverses, horror comics and so many other exciting ways of thinking about the comics medium! — with our amazing speakers Crystal-Leigh Clitheroe (co-organiser!), Dr Benjamin Nickl, Lilia Walsh and Dr Dan Santos!


Our ‘Science in Comics’ week in Venice – at the “FramingtheUnreal” conference – was nothing short of super-inspiring, incredibly multifaceted and hyper-intense. During the day we ran from one fascinating talk to the next, back and forth between our wonderfullissimi conference venues of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, in the evenings there were conference and comics research committee dinners, and on the weekend we visited the stunning #Biennale – which was beyond extraordinary and completely mind-blowing. Such thought-provoking, mesmerising art!
