Canadian creators answer the age-old question: Are comic books literature?

Here’s my chat with comic book creators about comics as literature at Word On The Street. Podcast is available on iTunes.

Megan Kearney and Meaghan Carter exhibit at Word On The Street

A variety of Canadian comic book creators exhibited at the recent Word On The Street in Toronto, Ontario. I had the opportunity to chat with Steven Andrews, Stephanie Cooke, Kelvin Nyeusi Mawazo, Megan Kearney, Keith Grachow, Meaghan Carter, and Sam Noir.

Word On The Street is a national celebration of literacy and Canadian writing. Each September, the event hosts hundreds of author readings for visitors of all ages while offering a vibrant marketplace featuring a vast selection of books and magazines and comic books available in Canada.

So in that setting, I asked the thorny age-old question “Are comic books literature?”

Thanks to all the comic book creators for chatting with me.
