The First 2015 Appearance: ALA Midwater Conference

Its time for the ALA’s Midwinter Conference! Held in Chicago from January 30th through February 3rd at McCormick Place West, this is the kickoff event of the year for anyone passionate about books, libraries and to see what’s in store for the future of the industry.

Jeff will be involved in two sessions during the conference: Friday January 30th at the Booklist Author Forum from 4:00pm-5:15pm and on Saturday February 1st at the Freedom to Read Foundation event taking place from 7:00pm-9:00pm. See schedule for locations.

For the Booklist forum, Jeff will be joined by Francoise Mouly, Cece Bell and Gene Luen Yang as they dig into all things graphic novels. For the Freedom to Read Foundation session, Jeff was invited to be the speaker for this year’s special event as BONE was one of the most challenged or banned books of 2014. After his talk, there will be a brief Q&A followed by a book signing.

Italian News: Fumettologica Interview with Jeff

French News: RASL in French!

Slovenian News: Slovenian Publisher Released Out of Boneville!

Our long time French publisher, Delcourt Editions, recently began publishing Rasl and before the holidays we received our sample copies of volume 2!

Unlike Cartoon Books’ original four graphic novels, Delcourt is collecting them slightly differently: the first two trades comprise volume 1, while trades 2 and 3 follow the original design. Delcourt is the leading French publisher for most of the comics industry. See the many titles they publish by visiting their website: http://www.editions-delcourt.fr/

We received our sample copies from one of our new publishers, DESK. The Slovenian publisher just released Out from Boneville, or Na Svidenje, Boneville. It is still very exciting to see Bone translated in new languages and DESK did a beautiful job!

Our friends at the Italian website, Fumettologica, interviewed Jeff on the upcoming 10th Anniversary of the final issue of Bone. Fumettologica is a well-respected website covering comic books and all things sequential art.
