  • Summary

  • With comics and graphic novels being among the most challenged books during the recent upswing in complaints about what’s on the shelves at school and public libraries, some might forget the role the medium has played in turning millions of kids onto reading — not to mention providing joy, fun, and excitement to generations of readers. The Boston Kids Comics Fest — coming June 3, 2023 at Northeastern University — is here to remind you. Hosts Dave London and Pete Chianca devote the full episode to a discussion with fest COO Meena Jain, co-founder and creator liaison Tony Davis, and comics scholar Hillary Chute talking about what to expect from the event, why gatherings like this are important for kids, and the explosion of comics as a medium and kids' comics in particular.
