The illustrated novel took a novel turn in the hands of Art Spiegelman, who is giving a talk, Comix 101, Sept.27, at Penn. As part of the same program, the Penn Humanities Forum on Word and Image, Jenny Holzer is giving a free talk Nov. 16. The sign-up for both of these is here. Hit the subscribe link.
The Fleisher Challenge 1 opens Sept. 9, featuring Kip Deeds, Sarah Gamble and B. Ever Nalens. Should be good.
