    Dear all,

    I'm planning to write my master's thesis on the nature of the dialog data
    from comic strips/books that might be seen somewhere in between spoken and
    written language. Is anyone of you aware of corpora containing comic texts
    (any language, though I'll focus on German)? Ideally the data should
    indicate speaker--utterance(s) relations.

    So far, I've seen a description of a comic corpus of bosnian, croatian and
    serbian comic series that was tailor made for a special survey on a slavic
    deictic system and marked up accordingly:
    http://tusnelda.sfb.uni-tuebingen.de/TUSNELDA/b8/comics/comicheader.html

    Any further pointers would be most welcome.

    Best regards, Axel Herold.
