A Session by Alex Simmons , Christina Taylor and John Shableski
About this Session
With the ever growing popularity of the graphic novel (GN) format, the opportunity to tell original stories from the perspective of persons of color is growing exponentially. Each new generation of creatives comes a greater opportunity, & responsibility to explore personal histories, cultural experiences & just about any range of concepts, subject matter for a new audience. Join us for a conversation about the ideas, challenges, & rewards of telling stories in the GN format and comics medium.
