Comics Are Great! 39 - The Delilah Dirk Fan Club
Channel: Jerzy Drozd
Date: 01/12/2011

This week we're joined by Paul Storrie (http://storrieville.com) and Tony Cliff for a talk on doing your research when making a comic placed in a specific place or time--that is, when Paul and I aren't too busy gushing over Tony's Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant (http://delilahdirk.com).

We start off with some talk on creating a premise for your story. How do you create a situation that propels your characters forward? We then kick into some discussion on research methods for creating a plausible sense of place and time for a comic story. But how deep into the reference materials or special collections should you dive? Is there a middle ground between verisimilitude and accuracy?

We're joined at the end by Sharon Iverson of the Ann Arbor District Library (http://aadl.org), who shares this week's book recommendations.

Recorded live every Wednesday out of the Ann Arbor District Library at 12:30 pm EST at http://comicsaregreat.tv
