The project was originally conceived between 2009 and 2010 by comics scholars Roberto Bartual, Esther Claudio, Ernesto Priego, Greice Schneider, and Tony Venezia as a peer-reviewed comics studies blog.[2][3][4] It became an open access peer-reviewed journal in 2013, published by Ubiquity Press.[5][6] Since 2015 the journal is published by the Open Library of Humanities.[7][8][9]
