Sequential art represents many things to many people. By definition, it is a "form of visual storytelling that uses a series of images (also called panels or frames) to convey a narrative." This narrative is mostly commonly displayed in comic books, cartoons, and storyboards. It takes a whole creative team to make a comic book, including artists, writers, inkers, colorists, editors, and letterers. They all contribute to what makes sequential art storytelling great and pop culture icons like Wonder Woman, The X-Men, The Avengers, and Superman relevant.

This fall, Flushing Town Hall will present comic book artists, writers, and cartoonists, from all different backgrounds and from across the NYC metro area to showcase their work, expressing to audiences what sequential art means to them.
