Conversational Comics, the three-panel speaker series sponsored by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, continues at host venue Union Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Saturday, July 11 at 2:00 pm.
Jessica Abel (Artbabe, La Perdida), Jason Little (Shutterbug Follies) and Matthew Thurber (1-800-Mice, Kramers Ergot) will talk with comics critic Bill Kartalopoulos (Parsons, Print Magazine) 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.
All events take place at 2:00 pm in the back room at Union Pool. Union Pool is located at 484 Union Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11211, one block from the Lorimer-Metropolitan G and L stop.
Suggested donation for each event is $5. All proceeds go to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
The following audio recording of our first Conversational Comics panel discussion, on June 27, 2009, features David Heatley, Lauren Weinstein, and Julia Wertz discussing the subject of autobiography in comics.
Join us as well on August 15 to hear Austin English, Lisa Hanawalt & Dash Shaw talk about drawing for comics. For full series information please visit: http://www.cbldf.org
