2020 Comic Con-versation (CCV2020) Booklist
This database was built to digitally host the CCV2020 booklist, which again, due to its length has to be split into a “main list” (15 books – 9 junior/YA and 6 adult) and a “secondary list”. Like the previous year, the “main list” is chosen based on quality of the art/writing, winning awards, the need to promote new authors, etc.
This year, I included all entries from the ALIA 2019 Best Aussie Comics Roundup, many of which were from mainstream publishers. Since the goal of this list is to promote lesser known works, these works were placed onto the “secondary list”.
