The downside is I'm concerned that they're popular because so many just don't read anything substantial anymore. Everything must be a quick, easy read in these folks minds. I enjoy both books and comics and I hope the comics will influence readers to branch out. I am always amazed at the great art these comics have, which explains in part their great popularity.

Maybe after this weekend I’ll be inspired by that idea again? Could it work to have our own library Comic Con, and what shape would that take?" --Just wanted to let you know, I am the intern of a women's center library, and we will be putting on a convention in early April. It's called "Getting Graphic: What It Means to be Visual". We will be discussing portrayals of gender and sexuality in comics, and we will have guests that include local comic artists, zine writers, publishers, editors, and comic scholars/professors. We are also hosting a comic/zine art contest, where all submissions will be bound and added to the library's zine and comic collections. We're still in the planning process, but if you'd like to learn more, please email me at kedavalos@ucdavis.edu or check the WRRC's website for updates! ~Kate “After attending a convention a couple years ago, a few of us discussed planning our own versions of a Comic Con at our libraries.
