Three comic book creators will discuss their art and craft at a panel discussion at  Monday, April 14, 12:30 – 2 p.m. at North Shore Community College (NSCC) room DH105, Danvers Campus, One Ferncroft Road. The  free presentation will include a 60-minute panel discussion where the authors will talk about their experiences and work within the world of comics, followed by time for Q&A, book signing, and personal interaction with the artists. The panel will be hosted by Lance Eaton, NSCC’s Coordinator of Instructional Design, and is one of a variety of free Arts in April celebrations taking place at NSCC April 14-19.  See the full schedule of events.
