Comics and graphic novels have become increasingly visually sophisticated in the past few decades, to the point that we may ask: Are these artists’ books? We probably won’t answer that, but three distinguished panelists will survey the state of the art and discuss current avant-garde strategies and issues. Speakers include Gabe Fowler of Brooklyn’s Desert Island, Andrei Molotiu, editor of Abstract Comics: The Anthology, and artist David Sandlin. Moderated by James Mitchell.
