At the Scottsdale Book Festival, we believe stories take many shapes, from picture books and novels to panels, speech bubbles, and vibrant illustrations. That’s why we’re thrilled to feature comic book authors, illustrators, and creators as part of this year’s festival.
Comics aren’t just entertainment; they’re a powerful form of literacy. They blend words and images to spark imagination, encourage reluctant readers, and inspire future artists. From superheroes and fantasy worlds to slice-of-life stories and cultural explorations, comics expand how stories are told and shared.
Festival-goers will meet talented creators who bring characters to life through bold art and storytelling. These voices are just as vital to our literary community as novelists, poets, and children’s authors, reminding us that reading and creativity come in many forms.
📚 Whether you’re a lifelong comic fan or new to graphic storytelling, come discover how comics connect us all through the joy of words and pictures.
