The San Diego State University Library was a co-founder, along with the College of Arts and Letters, of the Center for Comics Studies (CCS). The CCS is an interdisciplinary center for teaching, learning, scholarship, and community engagement around comic books and other graphic arts housed in the University Library’s collection. Since 2021, the CCS has received grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Endowment for the Humanities and has launched several new courses that are now part of the SDSU Certificate in Comics Studies. In Fall 2025, the Center for Comics Studies hosts our inaugural Comic-Artist-in-Residence and Comics-Scholar-in-Residence who will team teach a special section of HIST 157 (“History of Comics in 10 SDSU Treasures”).
