An Alternative Guide to Comics
Event Information
About this event
There is far more to comics than just superheroes. Comics are a vibrant, diverse medium that have something to offer for everyone. This panel of comic book creators and experts will highlight some great books to get you started with comics and graphic novels.
This will include the launch of the latest Teen Graphic Novel!
The Teen Graphic Novel is an anthology of short comic stories. After an open submission process, Cork City Library runs a course of workshops, after which writers and artists collaborate to produce their own comics. As well as allowing young creators a chance to get published, the programme aims to give them all the experience and knowledge they need to continue making and self-publishing their own comic work. Many alumni of the project have continued writing and illustrating, often publishing their own comics in print and online.
