Scott and Benita Story (creators and publishers of Johnny Saturn) have been honored by being invited to participate in Graphic Engagement, an academic conference sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature to be held at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Scott and Benita will be part of session 9C, an open creators’ rountable with Onsmith (widely published cartoonist and illustrator) and Troy Hickman (Common Grounds, Witchblade, City of Heroes) on Friday, September 3, 2010, at 3:00 PM.According to the Graphic Engagement website:
Graphic Engagement seeks to explore the ways in which comics and film animation engage us politically and profoundly influence the way we define gender, race, religion, class, and nationhood. “Political” can be defined broadly, relating not only to affairs of state, but also the praxis of visual narrative and ways it affects individual identity and community dynamics.

Hey, cool beans! I hadn’t heard yet who else would be there. Looking forward to it!
Me too, Troy. I look foward to meeting you.
