Hacking Out a Graphic Novel

Presented at The Next HOPE (2010), July 17, 2010, 11 a.m. (60 minutes)

Having a completely different perception of hacking, cartoonist Ed Piskor discovered Off The Hook, 2600 Magazine, and many other sources related to the history of the scene. Feeling a strong link between the minds of many cartoonists and the hackers he was reading about, he has decided to create a comic book merging these two interests. Piskor will be talking about his creative process, the reaction that he has received within the community, and the experience of self-publishing this effort, aided by visuals from the books.
