I’m doing a live Google Hangout today at 1PM Eastern/10AM Pacific/6PM UK to kick off the announcement of Banned Books Week, which will focus on comics and graphic novels this year. I’m going to be speaking with the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund’s Charles Brownstein, and other speakers include Nanette Perez (Program Officer of the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom(, Dave Gladney (Director of Communications Technology from the Association of American Publishers) and Michael O’Neill (National Coalition Against Censorship).
