Comics Are Great! 42 – My Life in France
by andrewjmac
As we close out the 2011 season of shows, I’m thrilled to have Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier on to talk about their recent experience at the Quai des Bulles Saint Malo Comics Festival. While watching some video and slideshows from their trip, Raina shares her reflections on how tabling at a French comics festival differs from ones in the United States, and Dave shares his observations about how the festival felt different for the person walking the aisles.
We close with an appearance by Sharon Iverson of the Ann Arbor District Library, who shares some more great book recommendations!
