2023 Covers & Pages Anthology covers selected!

We are excited to announce the selected covers for the 2023 Covers + Pages Anthology!  Covers + Pages is a junior level sequential narrative class. Every year we print an anthology of the strongest sequential work from the class and every year we invite two comic book illustrators, writers or editors to jury the covers. BIG THANKS to our wonderful jurors Chris Grine and Matt Hawkins for generously giving their time and insight. We greatly appreciate it!

Chris and Matt were really impressed with caliber of the work and storytelling by our juniors this year. After much discussion, they picked four final covers and five honorable mentions this year. We are proud to showcase them here. Congratulations everyone!!
