Graphic novelists of memoirs are frequently asked: “Did those traumatic things really happen to you?” These panelists will explore why anyone would want to reveal such personal information. Using graphic novel pioneer Will Eisner's autobiographical works To the Heart of the Storm and The Dreamer as touchstones, panelists Peter Kuper (Stop Forgetting to Remember), Eddie Campbell (Alec: The Years Have Pants), and Sara Woolley (Los Pirineos: The Mostly True Memoirs of Esperancita Gomez) will read from their new works and discuss the challenges and rewards of creating such personal material. Danny Fingeroth (A Marvelous Life: The Amazing Story of Stan Lee) moderates.
