Artist Jim Medway recounts his recent experience at Qusasat Comics Camp earlier this month in Palestine. “It was a truly eye-opening and incredible experience, with the nicest people you could imagine,” he reveals…

Creating Comics in Palestine: Jim Medway’s Qusasat Comics Camp Story

Across his career, award-winning comic creator Jim Medway has led comic classes across Britain, as well as Vermont and Denmark. His latest trip, to the Middle East, as part of a Lakes International Comic Arts Foundation initiative supported by the British Council, proved a fruitful challenge... Creators, sponsors and mentors at Qusasat 2026. Photo: Power Group Photo: Power Group Between the 2nd and 10th July 2026, I was teaching comics to students in Beit Jala, near Bethlehem, as part of this year’s Qusasat Comics Camp, part of a wider, ongoing project to nurture a Palestinian comics ‘scene’ and assist existing cultural organisations and projects.

Guess I'm as qualified to comment here as anyone, having made my "rep" on historical narrative. Not buying the accusation of plagiarism with which the prof and her allies are filling Bluesky, as I've detailed in other posts. But Tillie and D&Q made a few key mistakes that would have prevented this.

Keezy Young🌼@keezyyoung.bsky.social · last mo.

ultimately the fallout of all this is that cartoonists who aren't necessarily trained in academic citation, history and historiography, and don't have a background in that, will be terrified to draw anything nonfiction. and that's not on the academics who feel slighted. that's on comic publishers

100% None of the social media commentary is helpful in getting an unfortunate but uncomplicated situation resolved by the principals and most of the third party responses have been quite biased in the technical sense This only had to go public at all if D&Q ignored Cleves’ approaches

Myfanwy Tristram@myfanwytristram.bsky.social · last mo.

I can’t help thinking that it would be better for Cleves and D&Q to have a conversation offline rather than trying to make their points against a sea of baying commentators (95% of whom, as a generous estimate, I’m willing to bet have not read both books).

“Sure, such-and-such play is good, but … HOW much?!” misses the point Paying this sort of money means smaller clubs can still only afford one NEARLY-developed top player, and can never sell him on except to the mega-clubs So the playing field never gets levelled despite wealth increasing all around
