Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, the three biggest characters at DC. What are the rights and responsibilities of working on these icons?

Join writer-artist Matt Wagner (“Mage,” “Grendel,” “Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman: Trinity”) and artist Kenneth Rocafort (“Superman,” “Teen Titans,” “GROKEN”) for a look at what it means to work on "the holy trinity."

In this moderated discussion, creators Steve Horton (“Satellite Falling,” “Bowie: Stardust, Rayguns, and Moonage”), Russell Lissau (The Batman Strikes,” “The Hardways,” “Old Wounds”), Alan Evans (“Rival Angels”) will explain how they broke into comics, find creative partners, build audiences and more.
3 p.m.: Tales from the "Bronze Age" of Comics and Cartoons | Don Glut
The multi-talented Don Glut (“The Occult Files of Dr, Spektor,” “The Empire Strikes Back” novelization) started by making homemade comics and horror, comics, and superhero movies as a teenager, took the lessons learned about storytelling, and spun them into career gold during the 1970s and 1980s. If you are a Gen Xer, you probably read his Marvel comics and certainly watched the cartoons he wrote after school and on Saturday mornings. Learn how he made the magic happen.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
