Making of graphic 1177 BC talk with the Vermont Humanities Council

Nov 2, 2022, Brownell Library, Essex Junction, VT, 7 PM

This talk is a preview of the pages I’ve drawn, and a glimpse into the process of interpreting Eric Cline’s 1177 BC The Year Civilization Collapsed in comics.

Creating this talk sent me on yet another round of edits and revisions, and there will be more to come. I’ve drawn and lettered about 144 pages so far, and there are about 100 left to go before the deadline in February. One of my favorite parts of making this book is imagining the scenes and the people who lived in the Late Bronze Age. And then it came to an end!
