DESCRIPTION:Rise of the Graphic Novel\n\nGene Yang, Creator, American Born 
 Chinese\nAndy Hartzell, Creator, Fox Bunny Funny\nLark Pien, Creator, Long 
 Tail Kitty; Colorist, American Born Chinese\nDash Shaw, Creator, Body World 
 and Bottomless Belly Button\n \nThe popularity of graphic novels is 
 exploding. For many years, these comics were not taken seriously by readers 
 or critics; however, with the recognition and success of works like Ghost 
 World, Persepolis and American Born Chinese, graphic novels have surged to 
 a widely respected status in the literary and art landscape. How did this 
 happen? Are we as a society simply tired of reading huge, verbose novels? 
 Or does this shift illustrate a new appreciation of the synthesis between 
 visual art and literature? Leaders of the form talk about these issues and 
 more.\n\nGraphic Novel Art Contest\n \nWant to show off your graphic novel 
 art prowess? Think your art could beat out others from all over the Bay 
 Area? Just interested in checking out up-and-coming graphic novel artists?
