SHE CHANGED COMICS also examines the plights of women imprisoned and threatened for making comics and explores the work of women whose work is being banned here in the United States. A must for readers of all ages, students, and educators.
From bestselling graphic novelist Raina Telgemeier comes Ghosts.
Catrina and her family are moving to the coast of Northern California
because her little sister, Maya, is sick. Cat isn’t happy about leaving
her friends for Bahía de la Luna, but Maya has cystic fibrosis and will
benefit from the cool, salty air that blows in from the sea. As the
girls explore their new home, a neighbor lets them in on a secret: There
are ghosts in Bahía de la Luna. Maya is determined to meet one, but Cat
wants nothing to do with them. As the time of year when ghosts reunite
with their loved ones approaches, Cat must figure out how to put aside
her fears for her sister’s sake – and her own… @goraina
Whoa, so…every year, The Beat, which has long been my favorite comics news source, asks folks across the industry to cast their vote for the Person of the Year, defined as “the most important person, someone who had the biggest impact, an innovator, someone who set the pace, or had a banner year creatively” in comics.
This year, I won.
I can certainly concede that my 2014 was incredible, and felt like it built in intensity with each passing month. But to round it out with this honor is astounding…my career feels like it’s pretty swell to me personally, but being recognized by my peers is on a whole other level of awesome.
I’ve loved comics for a long time. From the day I discovered them as a kid, there’s been little else I’ve been so passionate about, and nothing else I wanted to do more. I’ve been fortunate to be able to make work I care about, and to have such great readers along the way, as well as a community of people that supports me and cheers me on.
So, thank you!
Congratulations to all the other people nominated for the PotY, too — smart, talented, hard-working people who deserve just as much (if not more) credit as I do.
Congrats Raina! You deserve it!
