Interviews with Booth's C.C. Colbert and Tracy White's How I Made it to Eighteen on graphicnovelreporter.com








The awesomely talented story-writing-historian C.C. Colbert discusses her new graphic novel, Booth.






Tracy White talks about her new and graphic novel, How I Made it to Eighteen, one of my favorite graphic novels of 2010 for its delicate, smart and sensitive handling of complicated teenage issues.
