Out of Olde Bokes: Adapting Comics from Medieval Sources

  • Panel Room 2, Queen's Suite Harrogate Convention Centre (map)

Enduring interest in the medieval world runs deep throughout our popular media, its ideals and aesthetics touching everything from film and fashion, to games and graphic novels. For comic creators interested in retelling medieval stories and source texts, the process of adapting brings fascinating challenges and opportunities. Join us as we discuss the frustrations and inspirations that come with remaking these “olde bokes” for a new audience, with creators Sarah Gordon, Zara Slattery, John Reppion and MD Penman. Moderated by (Dr.?) Kristen Haas Curtis.
