This semester Michigan State University is offering History 110H. It is entitled History of the Modern Comic Book, and I looks to be awesome. The class is taught by Ethan Watrall who works in the history department but is also heavily involved in the Serious Games undergrad and graduate programs at the University. He’s posting all the class lectures and slides online at the course website and is posting quick updates at bleeding cool. I’m going to be following along with this over the course of the semester and I think you might enjoy it too.
