 22\n\nGRAPHIC NOVELS: EVOLUTION OF THE AMERICAN COMIC BOOK\n\nScott 
 McCloud, Author and Artist, Making Comics\nRory Root, Owner, Comic 
 Relief\nOthers TBD\n\nComics and graphic novels have seen a meteoric rise 
 in popularity in the last few years.  For decades, “comics” were not 
 taken seriously by readers or critics; however, with the popularity of the 
 work of R. Crumb and Harvey Pekar and the success of books and comics like 
 Maus, Ghost World, Sin City and Optic Nerve, comics and graphic novels have 
 leapt from the world of American sub-culture squarely into the world of 
 popular and even high culture.  What accounts for this change?  How are 
 graphic novels shaping American and literary culture?  Come hear the 
 industry’s leaders talk about these issues and more.\n\n6:00 p.m.,

 Commonwealth Club has played host to a diverse and distinctive array of 
 speakers, from Teddy Roosevelt in 1924 to Erin Brockovich in 2001. Along 
 the way, Martin Luther King, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates 
 have all given landmark speeches at the Club.\n\n\n
