Almost a Comic Book Convention

This past weekend the American Library Association held its annual convention in Chicago at McCormick Place (the same city-unto-itself where C2E2 was held a couple of months back). The reason this might interest you is that some comic book creators made appearances there!

Gail Simone and Greg Hurwitz and Brian Azzarello and Art Baltazar were all in attendance, both signing for fans and appearing on a panel about graphic novels in libraries. I did not get to attend but from afar I felt that Mr. Baltazar put a nicely positive spin on the event when he tweeted the following:

Aw yeah librarians.
