This Monday night I’ll be giving a free, casual talk at North Fitzroy library explaining once and for all: what’s so good about comic books, anyway? Here’s the details:
Reading Comics with Martyn Pedler
7pm, Monday August 9th
240 St Georges Rd, North Fitzroy Vic 3068
In the spirit of Thunderdome, I’ll be splitting the night down the middle. Half on the best of the indie / alternative scene and the particular joys of the comic book medium, and half on how to wade into the regularly insane world of superhero comics. Feel free to come along and tell me about whatever favourites I’ve missed.
Some exclamation points to get you excited:
Doom Patrol! American Splendor! Hellboy! Astro City! Jimmy Corrigan! Batman: Year One! From Hell! Casanova! Bottomless Belly Button! All-Star Superman! Eddy Current! Sandman! David Boring! Zot! Probably some X-Men, too!
If anyone’s bored in Melbourne on Monday night, it’d be great to see you.
