I had missed this conversation with Jules Feiffer, who authored in 1965 an exceptional book titled The Great Comic Book Heroes.

Benjamin did write about Mexican ruins, but he could not have guessed the current state of the country. I had just tweeted this when this came into my inbox… 

With the participation of David Arnold, Professor of Computing Science at the University of Brighton, Dr Andrew Hudson-Smith, Senior Research Fellow and Research Manager at CASA, Dr Melissa Terras , Senior Lecturer in the Department of Information Studies at UCL and deputy director of the newly formed Centre for Digital Humanities and Fiona Romeo, Head of Digital Media at the National Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory, Greenwich. Free for students and ISKO UK members. Looks awesome.
