SPX '08 - Raina Telgemeier

Raina Telgemeier is one of the most well-known indie talents in the comic industry today. She recently wrapped up her graphic novel renditions of the Baby-sitters Club (four volumes). She also produces web comics like Smile and others. Raina spoke briefly with me about her work during the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland on Saturday, October 4, 2008. She even did a roller girl sketch at my request!
