How does a cartoonist adapt a scholarly work of history, specifically Eric H. Cline’s 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed? In this talk, award-winning illustrator Glynnis Fawkes will describe the process of interpreting Eric’s text in comics. This meant making historical figures (such as Ramses III) speak, as well as imagining characters for whom we have no record offering commentary and opinions. Join Glynnis Fawkes and Dr. Eric Cline as they discuss the creation of 1177 B.C.: A Graphic History of the Year Civilization Collapsed.
