Daniel King

Daniel King is an Associate Lecturer at the University of Derby, affiliated with the College of Arts, Humanities and Education. His research focuses on intersections between literature, comics, and cultural studies, with particular attention to queer representation and authorship dynamics. Key interests include the cultural acceptance of comics, literary evolution processes, and spatial narratives in graphic works.

His work examines authors such as Michael Chabon, Emily St. John Mandel, and Cormac McCarthy, exploring how editorial collaboration shapes literary careers. He also analyzes graphic narratives like Jaime Hernandez’s Love and Rockets to study queer domestic spaces and identity constructions.

King’s publications bridge traditional literary analysis with contemporary visual media studies, contributing to debates about genre boundaries and authorial agency in modern storytelling.
