...everything from their increasing use of new technology in their works, how comix may or may not fit into a museum, and whose works they currently admire. The panel included Art Spiegelman ("Maus," winner of the Pulitzer Prize,) Kim Deitch ("The Mishkin File,") Charles Burns ("Black Hole,") Chris Ware ("Jimmy Corrigan: Smartest Kid on Earth,") Richard McGuire ("Here,") and Kaz ("Underworld") and was moderated by Chip Kidd, editor of Pantheon's graphic novel division...

"Abe: Wrong for All the Right Reasons," finally allows Americans to see what they've been missing...
