Almost every aspect of Dr. Christina Blanch’s world revolves around comic books. She writes comics such as Good Boy, The Damnation of Charlie Wormwood, Tales from the Crypt, We Eat Gods, and Mysterium among others. She also edits comic books and moderates panels at Comic Conventions across the country. Even when she is teaching, she includes comics in her courses such as Gender through Comics, an online course that once enrolled over 7000 students online.
She owns Aw Yeah Comics in Muncie, Indiana and hosts a weekly comic sales called “What We Do in the Comic Shop” which was featured in an AP article. When not at her comic shop, which is rare, she is with Jeff and their dogs or hanging with her favorites, Maverick, Malcolm, and Magnolia.
