The Gestalt of It All (History, Monsters, and Comics)
A Comics Lecture and Workshop
Monsters have controlled the evolution of comics.  What have we wrought? Did you know monsters have controlled the evolution of comics?  Independent comic book creators from 7000 BC will guide you through a who's who of the monsters in, around, and behind comics over the past century, revealing how their presence has shaped the comics industry.  Then we'll jump in with pen in hand, wrestle your personal creative demons, pin 'em to the page, and give them a stern talking to about who makes the comics in this relationship.
