Frequently asked questions

I'm a big fan of Howard and Mark. Can I get an autograph?

YES. You'll be issued a Comic Book U lanyard and credential you can keep. Show this to Howard or Mark at their booth at Connecticut Terrificon Aug. 17-18-19, and they'll autograph an item for you, free of charge!

What is Chaykin's "Paradigm?"

His tutorial that deals with the landscape of the comic page. In his words, "We take deep look at the comic page itself, identifying the representation of time with space, and of pictures endowed with narrative value.  Via this discussion, we move through through what is done, to the WHY."
