#1: A Video about the Importance of Marvel Comics and the Re-Birth of the Superhero (16 min.--and you don't have to respond to this video; it's purely for historical interest and research)
#2: Digital Exhibits from the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum at Ohio State University: https://cartoons.osu.edu/digital-exhibits/ (this is what gave me the idea for the presentation assignment; this amazing museum showcases comic book art, and you can view some of their exhibitions and get some ideas as to how you might stage your own)
#3: If you want to make a video presentation, here's some easy tutorials for using Zoom to record a presentation: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206618765-Zoom-Video-Tutorials (I can help you too, but it really is pretty easy, and Zoom is free to download; but you don't have to do this)
#4: An article about the scandal behind Chelsea Cain's comics--how the male comic world took vengeance on her: https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/06/10/chelsea-cain-deletes-twitter-account-following-accusations-of-transphobia-regarding-latest-issue-of-man-eaters/ (as you read Maneaters, keep this in mind: the comics world really turned on Cain and she had to delete her Twitter account in response
#5: A fascinating article, "Analyzing the Gender Representation of 34,476 Comic Book Characters," which tells you a lot about gender inequality in comics--something to consider as you read the rest of the comics in this class, all of which offer female protagonists from different background trying to find their own definition of heroism: https://pudding.cool/2017/07/comics/
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!
