Dear CSS members,

As we near the proposed dates for what would have been our third annual conference at Henderson State University, we find ourselves once again having to adapt and improvise. While the ongoing struggle with COVID-19 did spell the end of our conference plans, we did not want to forgo all the celebratory, communal aspects that our conference brings. So, we invite you to join us (virtually) for our annual Comics Studies Society awards ceremony!
