Shelving Comics: Categorizing the Graphic Novel, with Alex Assan

How do comics fit on library bookshelves? What’s the difference between graphic novels and ‘comics’? Award-winning graphic novelist Alex Assan will discuss the adaptable and often contradictory comics medium, from newspaper strips to ‘respectable’ graphic novels, who reads comics and who makes them, and how they compare to ‘regular’ books.
