Cartoonist Judd Winick’s presentation surrounding his latest title, HILO PRESENTS: THE MIGHTY, involves a 17 question Q&A with himself as the creator. From answering questions about his artistic process and the process behind creating a HILO book, to sharing innumerable photos of his two cats (Troy and Abed), Judd’s session will cover not only his unique career in the graphic novels/comics space but will also answer burning questions a lot of kids may be already thinking of in the audience!
