Abstract
This article examines memory strategies and archiving practices of recipients of popular serial narratives. Here the focus is on superhero comics, analyzing individual issues and their paratexts. The active collectors of the comics host their own archives and thus act as agents of prorogation by protecting the works from decay and oblivion. Digital, fan-driven websites (e.g., online archives) make this particularly clear, as they feature different, nearly gapless archiving and memory practices, far away from official gatekeepers (e.g., publishers). This article investigates the significance of rogue archives in comparison to established publisher archives to highlight the multifarious practices of memory and archiving in the context of serial superhero comics.
