Overview

The first snapshot (late July 2026) outlines Daniel Boris’s long‑standing involvement in comics studies, noting his co‑editing of *Art of Richard Thompson* with Bill Watterson, co‑authoring the annual Comics Research Bibliography, and editorial roles at the International Journal of Comic Art. It also lists his contributions to publications such as *Hogan’s Alley*, *The Comics Journal* and the *Washington City Paper*, as well as his judging duties for the RFK Journalism Awards (2009‑2022) and the Herblock Award, and his membership in the National Cartoonists Society.

The later snapshot (early August 2026) expands on this profile, adding further editorial projects, including *Harvey Pekar: Conversations* and biographical sketches for the Library of Congress. It mentions additional publications (e.g., *White House History*), more detailed judging years, and highlights that his cartoon‑art collections are held by the Library of Congress and Michigan State University. The overall picture shows a continued and deepening recognition of Boris’s contributions to comic‑art scholarship and curation.
