ROCKPORT — At 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 27 at the Rockport Public Library, Ben Odgren, the children’s librarian and resident graphic novel enthusiast at the Rockport Public Library, will host a free workshop for all ages discussing the past and present of the graphic novel medium.
From key players like Will Eisner, Art Spiegelman and Herge, we’ll discuss the books that legitimized the format not just as entertainment, but art. People can look at the wide range of stories that graphic novels tell — fiction and non-fiction. Stories like Lucy Knisley’s memoir French Milk, and Raina Telgemeier’s Smile.
