CBC Graphic Novel Committee Programming at New York Comic Con 2024
The CBC Graphic Novel Committee presented some fun programming this year at New York Comic-Con 2024.
Keep Bans Off Our Books (Thursday, October 17 at 12:30 PM, Room 1B02)
The topic of book banning has risen as more and more books are taken off the shelves, especially graphic novels. These creators are here to talk about graphic novels and literacy, what we can do about censorship in our communities, and most importantly, how to keep bans off our books!
