With apologies for cross-posting, please consider joining us on Friday!

Please join us for Portland State University's annual Will Eisner Day
event, a panel discussion on "Unionization in the Comics," co-sponsored by
PSU's Comics Studies and Publishing programs. Moderated by Susan Kirtley,
we'll be having a lively discussion with industry professionals Stephen
Bissette, Melissa Gifford, and Erika Schnatz about the history of labor
relations in comics, culminating in the unionization at Image Comics.
Stephen Bissette is a comics creator, illustrator, and author/co-writer who
was one of the original signers of a "Bill of Rights for Comics Creators."
Melissa Gifford is a Content Manager and Erika Schnatz is a Senior
Production Artist at Image Comics, the first unionized publisher in the US,
and both were leading figures in recent efforts to unionize comics
professionals.

Please join us on *March 4th, 2022 at 4pm.*
