COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Cartoon Crossroads Columbus spent the day celebrating 10 years of highlighting the work of cartoon and comic book artists at no cost to patrons. The festival took place at the Columbus Metropolitan Library, with the goal of giving new talent within the industry a chance to share their artistic voice. Illustrator Jason Morrow has been attending this festival since he was 15 years old, but now this is his first year with his own table display of comics. He said there is no other place that gives such immense opportunity and welcomes all who come to enjoy the artwork.

McGurk also noted that the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum is the largest collection of comics and cartoon art in the entire world.
