The Blood of Kings from Imagine Nation Series by Matt Myklusch
Moderator: Susan Lyddeon
Myklusch is the author of nine children’s books, including the Jack Blank “Accidental Hero” series. The Blood of Kings is his first graphic novel. The author shares, in a slide-show presentation, how his drawing between the ages 8 to 12 led, in middle age, to the heroes of his graphic novel published by Simon & Schuster.
Audience: Anyone dreaming of creating a graphic novel, from 8 to12-year-olds and their parents to mature writers.
