Converse All Stars


A fiery discussion of the fine points of comix writing will no doubt ensue here!!!

Telling Stories: Fiction in Comics
Saturday, July 11 @ 2pm at Union Pool, Brooklyn
484 Union Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11211
(one block from the Lorimer-Metropolitan G and L stop)

Jessica Abel (Artbabe, La Perdida), Jason Little (Shutterbug Follies) and Matthew Thurber (1-800-Mice, Kramers Ergot) will talk about the nature of narrative and fiction in comics. We’ll consider forms of storytelling that comics can adapt, and others that comics can
generate.

Then stick around to get a book signed, hit the taco truck, and sip a summer drink with our featured cartoonists.

This event is part of “Conversational Comics,” a three panel series at Union Pool. Join us again on August 15 to hear Austin English, Lisa Hanawalt & Dash Shaw talk about drawing for comics.

This panel discussion will be moderated by series curator Bill Kartalopoulos (The New School, Print Magazine).

$5 suggested donation. All proceeds go to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
