Bryan and Mary Talbot donate a number of their works to Cambridge's first Graphic Novels Collection
Lucy Cavendish Fellow Dr Joe Sutliff Sanders is raising funds for an exciting new collection of Graphic Novels in the College Library.
The world-class collection will be the first of its type within the University of Cambridge, and - with multiple new academic journals on comics and graphic novels launched in recent years – it will support this cutting-edge academic field. The Lucy Cavendish Library will become the go to place for graphic novels in Cambridge.
"It's a real pleasure to get behind this initiative, and I can't wait to see this collection grow at one of the world's oldest universities. I'd encourage anyone with an interest in the field to join me in supporting Lucy Cavendish in this endeavour. As the field of the academic study of graphic novels continues to grow and the comics medium is increasingly embraced by the general public, this collection will be an invaluable resource and a national cultural centre for the art form."
The College is thrilled to have received a number of donations to the Graphic Novels initiative. To donate, please visit their online donation page.
