Fantasy must-haves: great characters, expansive worlds, immersive moods. Graphic novels can get us there very effectively. But the main question is: will the story be a standalone or a series? Hear from Vera Brosgol (“Plane Jane and the Mermaid”) and Kazu Kibuishi (“Waverider,” finale of the “Amulet” series) on constructing fantastical worlds in stories told as graphic novels. Moderated by Megan Halsband.
