The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship is an online, open access, peer reviewed academic journal dedicated to comics studies. The journal is multidisciplinary with a focus on Medium specificity. The journal also publishes scholarly articles in comics form [1].

It became an open access peer-reviewed journal in 2013, published by Ubiquity Press[5][6]. Since 2015 the journal is published by the Open Library of Humanities[7] [8][9].

A 2013 Working Paper from the Creativity, Regulation, Enterprise and Technology Research Centre[15] University of Glasgow, titled "Writing About Comics and Copyright", focuses on the journal as a case study[16].

In 2017, the journal was nominated for a Digital Humanities Award in the Public Engagement category[17].
