Speaking of genres: picture books, comics, silent books: how they differ from one another?
Discussion December 21, 2020 14:00 - 15:00
Despite the fact that all of these genres have been present on the Russian market for several years, doubts and inaccuracies in the distinction and understanding of genres are still relevant. At the meeting, our guests discussed who reads comics, where you can study to create comics. Experts compared comics and movies, illustrated books and comics, revealed the concepts of "comic", "picture book", told where the "graphic novel" genre came from, and also recommended comics, picture books and silent books for beginners.
