I was just reading a little bit about semiology for a film criticism class I'm in, and it made me wonder if anyone had ever tried to apply these ideas to comics. Sound familiar to anyone?
It's too bad there isn't some sort of academic publication on comics, in which one could look up things like this.

Doc,
I'm not familiar with semiology, but I do know that there are quite a few scholars doing academic work with comics, the Comic Arts Conference held a Comic-Con International (San Diego) to name just one group.
I'm not really an authority, but I'm sure that if you went to a good search engine and searched on comics scholarship, you'd find all kinds of stuff.
Good luck,
