• Talk with Barbara Slate comic, artist and writer for DC and Marvel as well as author of You Can Do a Graphic Novel.
• Ask questions of local illustrators.
• Children can add their words and drawings to a community graphic novel, get tips from artists, and have their books signed too.
• Stop by the Mad Hatter’s tea party for a little flamingo croquet and test your mettle with riddles, puzzles, mazes, and games from favorite fantasy series: Harry Potter, Rick Riordan’s mythologies, and the Amulet books.
• Meet the new Blaire doll and sign up to borrow her with your library card.
Oblong Books will be offering a 20% discount to all attendees. Megabrain Comics will have special deals on comics and graphic novels. Comic book artist Andy MacDonald, who has worked with DC Comics and Marvel, will be joining in!
