You know that comics aren't just for kids, but what comics are for kids these days? Take a quick look at how comic books were marketed to kids in the past and when that ended, what happened in the YA and Children's comics genre. This is a great presentation for adults that care for kids and YA's who like comics, and kids and YAs looking to expand their comic book knowledge and title interest.

Panelists:

• Heather Rockwood, Festival Director, Jewelry City Steampunk Festival
