A remarkable — and free — event is coming June 6 for those in the New York area. The New York Institute for the Humanities is holding an all-day symposium
called Post Bang: Comics Ten Minutes After the Big Bang to explore the growing cultural significance of comics. The entire day looks great but the highlight for children’s lit fans will be the COMICS AND KID’S LIT panel, set to feature Lisa von Drasek (Bank Street College), Leonard Marcus (Minders of Make Believe), Francoise Mouly (The New Yorker), Mo Willems (Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!), and Sara Varon (Sweaterweather).
