Thursday, September 28th, 6:30pm

"Would you rather have super strength or super speed?  The ability to fly or be invisible?  These are some of the questions that comics historically have inspired.  But today's graphic novelists have changed all that.  Their protagonists are more often anti-heroes than heroes, winning us over by communicating their fears and frailties instead of exercising their superpowers." Rosen will speak on this topic - you don't want to miss this! For more info, here is YAM's Website!
