I am very excited to announce that an article coauthored with evolutionary biologist Dr Ricardo González Trujillo is now out.

Gonzalez-Trujillo R. & Priego E., (2021) “Searching for a Common Ancestry: Linguistic and Biological Analogies in Comic Art”, The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship 11(1). doi: https://doi.org/10.16995/cg.4351

The collaborative work that resulted on this note started many years ago, across decades, borders, disciplines and languages.

This was a work in progress for years and we are very pleased we managed to complete a draft this year and to do the required revisions (all collaboratively between Mexico and the UK) relatively quickly.

Muchas gracias Ricardo, and many thanks to the Grid’s editorial team.
