NY ComicCon: The Voice Gets It
The Village Voice’s Carol Cooper went to last week’s New York ComicCon—and apparently lived to tell the tale. Part journalism and part musing on the very nature of comics, Cooper offers up a wonderfully-nuanced exploration of what appears to be a very strange place.
Though you might trip over Sailor Moon–costumed mangateers on your way to an erudite presentation on political graphic novels, there’s nothing about this convention that’s just for kids. From top-selling fantasist Gaiman referring to ants eating elephant cum during an anti-censorship fundraiser, to a sensitive male at the “Women in Comics” round-table confessing to writer Gail Simone that the racy covers make him embarrassed to read Catwoman on the subway, encounters here between creative icons and their public were honest and intimate.
