LIVES ILLUSTRATED: THE ART OF BIOGRAPHY IN GRAPHIC NOVELES

Graphic novels have transformed how we tell true stories—merging vivid artwork with narrative depth to bring real lives to the page. This panel explores the art of creating biographies that meld historical accuracy and visual imagination. A. Angélique Roché, author of First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth and Nick Weldon, editor of Monumental:  Oscar Dunn and His Radical Fight in Reconstruction Louisiana join moderator Megan Holt to discuss how the medium challenges and expands our understanding of nonfiction storytelling.
