Free Comic Book Day talk with Cartoonist Chris Howard
More readers than ever are reaching for comic books and graphic novels!
BPL's resident graphic novel expert and local cartoonist, Chris Howard takes you on a whirlwind trip through the fascinating world of comics. Hear about the history of comic books (they've been around a long time) and their unique 'language.' Find out what's fresh on the comic book-Manga-graphic novel scene—and the rising stars who are skyrocketing comic books to exciting new literary heights!
And while you're at any library branch today, be sure to pick up a FREE comic book while supplies last (one per person).
Reader, creator and advocate, Chris Howard has been a comics enthusiast for 40 years. When he’s not trying to read through the library’s every new arrival, he works on his own co-created online comic.
