Unstoppable Forces
The CBC Graphic Novel Committee presents our final San Diego Comic-Con 2023 panel: Unstoppable Forces
This panel focuses on graphic novels featuring a Filipino-American take on Depression-era noir featuring mistaken identities, speakeasies, and lost love; finding safe space as a queer teen; the historic struggle for gender equality in high school sports; and a fantastic take on underrepresented history provide inspirational and empathetic stories of overcoming adversity. With all of these different perspectives dealing with conflicting times, these authors discuss how they wanted to change things up and bring in a different point of view and the challenges and joys in creating their works. Come and watch to see how these authors and their stories became unstoppable forces.
