I'll be going to this amazing disability comic con at Syracuse University tomorrow, 4/1! Matt and Kay Daigle, creators of That Deaf Guy, will also be there! And Cece Bell, award winning deaf graphic novelist ("El Deafo"), will be speaking at the conference through Skype. I'll be also selling my comic books!

From the event page:

This annual symposium provides participants with the opportunity to engage in a broad array of reflective discussions about the representations of disability that exist “beneath the surface” and explicitly within mainstream popular cultures both nationally and internationally, particularly the popular culture phenomena that are comic books, graphic novels, and manga.

Lost Limbs: Disabled Bodies as Digital Effects

Without Fear: The First Autistic Superhero

Don’t Call Me an Ally: The Journey toward Meeting the Access Avengers

FEATURED WORKSHOP: Draw and/or Create your OWN Access Avenger!
