Elizabeth Whitten
Canadian Author (Unable to Attend)
Unfortunately the Airline cancelled Elizabeth's flight so she will be unable to attend. We hope to see Elizabeth next year! Elizabeth Whitten is a journalist based in St. John's where she's currently writing her first book, a history of comic books in Newfoundland and Labrador, which is due out in the fall through Engen Books. She's tracking the creation of NL's first comic book Zeitgeist, which was made by two teenagers, and all the other comic books that came after. That includes Captain Newfoundland, Don K. Hoty of La Manche, Sherlock Platypus, and many more! Her book includes interviews with award winning comic book artists like Mike Feehan, Paul Tucker and Kelly Bastow, and how Wallace Ryan became the 'Godfather of Newfoundland Comics.'
