I'm happy to announce that we'll be having an author appearance on Wednesday, February 22 at 6:00!
Author Mark Long* will be discussing his new graphic novel The Silence of Our Friends.
So you'll get a combination history lesson (on things that happened less than 50 years ago in Houston!) and behind the scenes info on what it takes to create a graphic novel. After the presentation, Mr. Long will also be answering your questions.
