We Need Diverse Books Presents: Spring Awakening - Diversity in Coming-of-Age Comics & Graphic Novels

October 06, 2017, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM

1A18

Cartoonists discuss diversity in coming-of-age stories. How do these artists tap into the voices of young protagonists? What compelled them to tell stories that vary from autobiographical to contemporary to fantasy? Join us as we talk about these issues and the need for more authentic representations in comics/graphic novels. Panelists include Gina Gagliano (First Second Books), Nidhi Chanani (Pashima), Jorge Aguirre (Giants Beware!), Ngozi Ukazu (Check, Please), and Molly Ostertag (Witch Boy).
