Links | From ‘Everstar’ to ‘Lumberjanes’

September 17, 2014 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Everstar is a new webcomic on Mark Waid’s Thrillbent site that features an 11-year-old girl who travels through space on her own spaceship. Thrillbent editor/curator Mark Waid talks about the comic here, and Steve Morris recently interviewed the creators, Becky Tinker and Joie Brown, at his site The Spire.

Steve Morris gets Faith Erin Hicks, Raina Telgemeier, and First Second editor Calista Brill talking about making and publishing graphic novels in a lively roundtable discussion.

Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, and Shannon Watters discuss their all-girl adventure comic Lumberjanes, which has built quite a cult following.

Abby (the) Librarian talks about discussing graphic novels with her colleagues and presents a short reading list.

Halloween Comic Fest is kind of a mini-Free Comic Book Day, where stores give out Halloween-themed mini-comics; you can check here to see if a store near you is participating.
