I am sitting here at Porter Square Books in Cambridge, MA watching as the final seats are filled for a presentation and book signing for the BostonComics Roundtable, Inbound #4,"A Comic-Book History of Boston".  There is a great deal of eager anticipation, for this presentation by history buffs, and comic book aficionados alike, since this book is a collection of 35 stories of Boston's history.

The presentation began with an introduction by Boston Comics Roundtable founder Dave Kender.  He explained a little about the book.  From there, a number of artists and writers who created works for this collaborative book came up to explain how they created their stories.  Here is a list of the people who spoke:

• Lindsay Moore - wrote the Boston Strangler story
• Cathy Leamy - "The Old Howard" story
• Dirk Tiede - Artist for "The Boston Molasses Flood" story
• Dave Marshall - Wrote and drew "Lucky 7 The Dee Brown Incident" story
• Dave Unger and Aya Rothwell - Historian and Comic Creator "Cowpaths of Waltham" story
  Doug DeRocher - Artist "Boston Slave Riot"
• Dan Mazur - Artist of Charles Ponzi story and John Wilkes Booth story
• Ellen T. Crenshaw - "Littery Men" story
