Feb+09+-+Graphic+Novels+&+Manga

Meeting: Friday, February 20, 7-9 p.m. @ Barnes & Noble, Bloomington, IL

One of the hottest areas of interest for YAs and YA publishers is Graphic Books. Let's face it, we can't just call them novels anymore, as so many publishers are creating nonfiction graphic books. And is manga a sub-genre or something a bit different? Where do somic books fit in? Lots of items for discussion here... and don;t forget to read some great books.
