Runner-up award in the 2022 Jurgen Banned Art Comics Contest sponsored by VCU Libraries.

The 2022 contest invited VCU students to explore an episode or aspect of the seizure and censorship of James Branch Cabell’s Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice.

Description

Runner-up award in the 2022 Jurgen Banned Art Comics Contest.

This colorful comic draws from a newspaper account of the “Propriety and Impropriety in Literature” debate held at the National Arts Club on Nov. 8, 1922, only weeks after the case against Cabell's Jurgen was dismissed.
