Lovely recap from ALA 2012 in Anaheim, filmed by author Derek Kirk Kim! Graphic Novel authors discuss the differences between ALA and comics conventions, and more—here's a great way to get a few flavors from a memorable and exceptional ALA:
MARATHON is now out in stores! This extraordinary epic takes you back to Ancient Greece in the footsteps of Eucles, the man who ran hundreds of miles, and eventually from the city of Marathon to Athens, warning of the impending attack of the Persian fleet. The run saved democracy and was at the origin of the Olympic games. History comes alive in a huge, sweeping tale from two great talents: Joe Infurnari on the art, and author Boaz Yakin. A feat at every level and a graphic novel event to celebrate.
And the Spartans aren't really the good guys this time.
