    Default Need help with a research paper

    I'm supposed to be writing a research paper arguing that comics should be considered a legitimate art form. I know that's kind of a bad topic to pick, considering there really isn't any argument against that anymore, but they say you should write what you know; and it sounded easy.

    But I'm having trouble finding some sources... I need two more good reliable ones, preferably available online since the selection in my library is limited to reference and fine art books. There isn't enough time to track down print sources.

    If anyone can offer me any information even remotely connected to this, it would be greatly appreciated. It is sort of a difficult topic to write, so I've just sort of been picking and choosing from a bunch of different works and making it fit together with what I'm writing.

    Nothing from wikipedia.

    Try calling someone at a major comic company? I'm sure they'd love to talk to you.

    I always thought this person knew what s/he was talking about when it came to this stuff.

    might not have what you're looking for, but it's a decent start at least.

    This helped me finished my research paper last week. And I am guessing you have to cite them correctly right? Most of the sites you find are articles.

    That worked!

    I like how they provide citation for you. I love copying and pasting.

    This paper is probably not going to be one of my better works. It's due this Monday and I've procrastinated terribly... had about four weeks to work on it and just started finding sources on Wednesday, haha.

    Just got the outline written though. Debating whether I should write the Rough Draft tonight, or save both that and the Final Draft for tomorrow. By now the paper should basically write itself, so...
