Abstract
Jennifer Slagus and Josh Palange explore the world of comics and graphic novels with author Dr. Jarod Roselló. They highlight the value of graphic novels for young readers and discuss how these works are often perceived in comparison to traditional prose books. Dr. Roselló shares his journey as an author and cartoonist working with comics, emphasizing the scarcity of graphic novel-focused creative programs at the university level and the relationship between academia and comics. He also discusses his experience collaborating with publishers on his graphic novel series Red Panda & Moon Bear, and the challenges of marketing a book from an artist's perspective.
