Circle the Date: March 17

On March 17, 2010, I will be moderating a Graphic Novels Panel as part of the Shapiro Library's Spotlight Series.

On the panel will be three members of the U-M faculty who are involved in one way or another with comics: Phoebe Gloeckner, Jim Ottaviani, and Eric Rabkin.

The panel will be from 7-8:30pm in the Screening Room on the 2nd floor of the Shapiro Library.

I'm quite looking forward to having the three of them together in a room talking comics creation and theory!
