Graphic Novels: Drawing the Story

2:30pm Trinity Church Sanctuary 206 Clarendon Street

Graphic novelists do double duty, telling a story through words and pictures. In this session, three of the biggest names in the business talk about their craft. Daniel Clowes riffs on the superhero genre with The Death-Ray. Seth retells (and in some cases reinvents) comics history in The Great Northern Brotherhood of Canadian Cartoonists. And Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, brings together the top talent in the field as the editor of Best American Comics 2011. Hosted by Brookline YA librarian Robin Brenner. Sponsored by WBUR 90.9 FM.
