The University of Florida has founded
ImageText, an online academic journal established to "advance the academic study of comic books, comic strips, and animated cartoons." The journal, under the direction of General Editor Donald Ault, will run peer-reviewed papers "that investigate the material, historical, theoretical, and cultural implications of visual textuality...
ImageTexT will include reviews of current scholarship in the field, announcements regarding relevant conferences and upcoming publications, and links to other theoretical projects of interest to readers.
ImageTexT will also provide currently unavailable English-language translations of seminal essays of comics theory." The journal's edtorial board includes Will Eisner, M. Thomas Inge, David Kunzle, Roger Sabin and Joseph Witek, among others.
