A few weeks ago, the American Library Association held their Annual conference in Anaheim. Among the many publishers and suppliers on the exhibition floor was GraphiCon, a mini-comic con showcasing comics, games, and an incredible array of creators in Artists Alley! Panels were held on a nearby stage around the clock, and, unlike most comic cons, a lot of video has been made available for streaming!
So, if you weren’t there, here are some YouTube links!

In addition, there were amateur videos shot during the show.
Torsten, thanks for posting the links and letting more people see these videos. I was one of the librarian interviewers, and I had so much fun. Although, next time I WILL use a tripod! The upper arm muscles started burning about 5 minutes into each interview …
Also, my thanks to all the wonderful creators who let us interview them for ALA!
