We Need Diverse Books | "Coming of Age in Graphic Novels" - New York Comic Con 2017 @diversebooks | Uploaded January 2018 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Cartoonists discuss diversity in coming-of-age stories. How do these artists tap into the voices of young protagonists? What compelled them to tell stories that vary from autobiographical to contemporary to fantasy? Join us as we talk about these issues and the need for more authentic representations in comics/graphic novels.
Left-to-right -- Moderator: Gina Gagilano (First Second Books)
Panelists: Jorge Aguirre (Giants Beware!), Ngozi Ukazu (Check, Please), Nidhi Chanani (Pashmina), and Molly Ostertag (Witch Boy).
Note: This is a set of compiled videos from the panel. Due to technical difficulties, we were not able to get the uncut panel on video. We apologize for the missing pieces and low sound quality.
Special thanks to Parrish Turner for video footage and volunteers Carolyn H. (twitter: @akathereader) and Patty Comeau (twitter: @pattycomeau), who helped with captions!
