Strip!: Reading Graphic Novels
Alex Fitch talks to members of The Streatham Library Graphic Novels Readers group about studying comics in the library environment, how art and text combine to provide narratives and promotion of literacy. Alex also attends a meeting of the group as they discuss Charles Burns’ controversial graphic novel ‘Black Hole’.
Plus: as Alex’s interview with Jim Medway was accidentally left out of the DFC special on 29/05/08, it’s included in today’s show so that Jim gets a chance to be on the radio and not just in a podcast!
5pm 26/06/08 Resonance 104.4 FM (London) / streamed at www.resonancefm.com / podcast at www.panelborders.com
