COOL CLASSES: “Reading Comics and Religion”

This homepage ran on Friday, April 29, 2016. Content and links may have changed.

"Reading Comics and Religion," which explores how representations of religion arise in comics and graphic novels, is co-taught by religion professors Ken Koltun-Fromm (Haverford) and Yvonne Chireau (Swarthmore), and features a weekly “making” lab with artist-in-residence JT Waldman.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.
