This panel gets you together with Isaac Cates (Cartozia Tales), Josh Bayer (Suspect Device), Josh O'Neill (Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream) and Annie Stoll (1001 Knights) to talk about how to give up your life to the higher calling known as Comics Anthology Publishing. Moderated by Kelly Phillips.

Bill Griffith, creator of the long-running daily comic strip Zippy the Pinhead, breaks new ground with his first long-form graphic novel, Invisible Ink from Fantagraphics. Alternating between Bohemian Manhattan and suburban Levittown of the 1950' and 60's, as well as the present, Griffith tells the story of his mother's long hidden affair with a man who was a cartoonist and crime novelist. Comics journalist Chris Mautner discusses with Griffith his move to the graphic novel form and the story of how he pieced together the true picture of his mother's life.
