Scott Chantler, the acclaimed creator of the graphic novel TWO GENERALS, will be at Windsor Public Library (850 Ouellette Avenue) on Thursday, November 12 at 7:00 p.m., to talk and interact with teens and others about the graphic novel. Currently the Writer-in-Residence at the University of Windsor, he is the first cartoonist to receive this appointment from a Canadian university.

His novel TWO GENERALS was nominated for two Eisner Awards, named one of Chapters-Indigo’s Best Books of 2010, selected for BEST AMERICAN COMICS 2012, and named by the CBC as one of the 40 best Canadian non-fiction books of all time.

The novel tells the story of what happened and is meticulously researched and gorgeously illustrated, TWO GENERALS is a harrowing story of battle and a touching story of friendship – and a vital and vibrant record of unsung heroism.
