Abstract: Few disciplines lend themselves to being able to grapple with Comic-Con, fanfiction, rap music, autism, makeup and cosmetic culture, among others.As Katherine Anderson Howell shows, there is well-developed, yet understudied, interplay between disability and fandom in her succinctly-titled text, Disability and Fandom.In the introduction, she asks, "What would a disabled fan studies look like?Who and where are the disabled fans?What are their experiences?"(2).The rest of the text is her answer to those queries.
