DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:The new graphic novel The 9/11 Report by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón asks the question, “Can a comic get Americans to study, reflect and act?” This panel will explore comic nonfiction as a way to clarify, explain, and engage readers with recent history and current events. Specifically, it will talk about the process of scripting, illustrating, and publishing a graphic rendering of the official 9/11 Report to assure integrity with the report and its findings, to capture its breadth and urgency, and to convey the explicit call for action in the Commission’s recommendations. The creators stated mission: “by picture, by design, by graphic continuity, by words, by every method we have learned over the years, we want to tell the commission's calamitous story so that every person viewing it will understand what happened and realize all its frightening implications.” Writer Sid Jacobson was the managing editor and editor in chief for Harvey Comics, where he created Richie Rich. Ernie Colón, the artist, has worked at Harvey, Marvel, and DC Comics.
