Thank you:) I hope that the students in the audience will be inspired to create and publish their own comics.
Sharon,
Wonderful idea for the creation of deaf comic books!!
Have you seen or read Robert Johnson's Gallaudet comic books poked at Gallaudet fraternities and soritories back in the late 1980s?
My own copy of Robert Johnson have been stolen. That was very best deaf comic book kind ever I seen in my entire life.
I do recall that there are several deaf comic books out somewhere.

Honestly, I just started researching comics a year or two ago because my students were chatting about what they were reading in their spare time... so I'm no expert. I read graphic novels and comics in my teens but never thought to include them in my class until recently. (I know I'm a bit slow-smile).
Here is a Deaf Mosaic video with Jevon Whetter and Robert Johnson and their comic book "Dino-man".
