https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AZJ36ilvsA
Phoebe Gloeckner has produced one of the most powerful and innovative bodies of works in the comics field. Her classic book "A Child's Life and Other Stories" anthologizes short pieces which, together, powerfully express a textured portrait of adolescent desire and despair. Her mixed format book "The Diary of a Teenage Girl" blends prose, illustration, and comics. The book has been adapted as a critically acclaimed film, and was also republished in a new edition with additional supplementary material. For the past several years she has been researching a book about people living in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Ms. Gloeckner discuses her work in a spotlight conversation with Slate Magazine culture editor Dan Kois.

The Ignatz Award, named for the character in the classic comic strip Krazy Kat by George Herriman, is the festival prize of the Small Press Expo. Since 1997 the Ignatz has recognized outstanding achievement in comics and cartooning. The award recognizes exceptional work that challenges popular notions of what comics can achieve, both as an art form and as a means of personal expression. Only those present at the Small Press Expo may cast a vote to decide the winners. The ballot is created by a jury of five cartoonists and is voted on by the attendees of the SPX festival. 2015 Jurors are Lamar Abrams, Cara Bean, Robyn Chapman, Sophie Goldstein and Corrine Mucha.
