This month, Picture + Panel confronts the weight of loss with Tom Hart and Jesse Mechanic.

Discussing two beautiful graphic memoirs, we explore how comics can transform unspeakable loss into art that remains.

Picture + Panel is a monthly conversation series that brings fantastic graphic novel creators to the Greater Boston area.

Discover terrific authors and fascinating stories that combine text and art through conversational confabulation.
