Orca’s booth set-up for the American Library Association’s June 2007 conference in Washington, DC.
Maureen and Dayle attended the four day convention and spoke to many people about Orca’s large collection of US distributed titles. The event was well attended by a very dedicated lot!

On BlogTO, Liam O’Donnell is interviewed about graphic novels for kids. Liam is the author of Wild Ride, Orca’s first graphic novel, which is coming this fall.
And recently on Salon.com, we heard from Douglas Wolk about comics culture and how it’s changing or should be changing, with the increasing popularity of graphic novels, for both kids and adults.
Another new Orca book this fall will be a Currents novel about a comic fan: Manga Touch.
So, why are comics becoming more and more popular? They’re really fun to read, for starters! What do YOU think?
PS: What else are we up to at Orca? It’s been a while since the event, but check out this post about the launch of Just J on BookLust. What a cake!!
