| One of the delights of SPX for Batton and Jackie was getting to spend some time with academics Fedwa Malti-Douglas and Allen Douglas from Indiana University. Dr. Malti-Douglas, the noted author of a dozen books and a Pulitzer Prize nominee, is using Sonovawitch! in a seminar she is teaching this fall in IU School of Law. The Douglases are the co-authors of Arab Comic Strips (1994) and have a longtime interest in the comics medium. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The reclusive Paul Pope came out of seclusion for his first SPX appearance ever, to help raise funds for CBLDF. |
