SUMMARY:Peter Bagge with Everett True at Strand Bookstore: The Complete Hate Virtual Book Event
DESCRIPTION:Peter Bagge with Everett True: The Complete Hate\n\nMonday November 23 06:00PM-07:00PM ET \n\nThis virtual event is free to attend. Register here to participate. \nPurchase a copy of The Complete Hate to help support the authors and The Strand. Copies purchased through the event will include a free bookplate signed by Peter Bagge. \nGrab a gift card if you already have the book and want to support our programming. \nJoin prolific cartoonist Peter Bagge as he launches The Complete Hate\, an archival collection of his classic comic Hate. Peter will be joined in conversation by legendary rock journalist and grunge historian Everett True! The event will take place on Zoom and be live-streamed on The Strand’s Facebook Page. \nAn archival collection of one of the bestselling alternative comic book series ― arguably\, the Great American Grunge novel ― complete for the first time. \nThe Complete Hate is a three-volume set that includes the original 1990-1998 30-issue run\, the nine subsequent Hate Annuals\, and tons of other Hate-related comics\, illustrations\, and ephemera created for books\, magazines\, comics\, toys\, and other merchandise. Bagge combined his cartoony drawing style with uncomfortably real Gen X characters\, and the comic books resonated with readers. Book One (Hate 1-15)\, focuses on young Buddy Bradley’s travails in early 1990s Seattle. Book Two focuses on Buddy and his girlfriend Lisa Leavenworth’s move back to Buddy’s native New Jersey (and a switch from black-and-white to full color). Book Three features the final arc of Bagge’s magnum opus\, as Buddy and Lisa become parents (and buy a garbage dump). Each volume\, along with the slipcase\, contains new covers\, endpapers\, title pages\, and other surprises by Bagge. A mix of color and black and white illustrations.\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter Bagge is an American alternative cartoonist whose best-known work includes the comics Hate and Neat Stuff. A graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York City\, he got his start in comics in the R. Crumb-edited magazine Weirdo. His stories often use black humor and exaggerated cartooning to dramatize the reduced expectations of middle-class American youth. More recently he has written and drawn graphic biographies of Zora Neale Hurston\, Rose Wilder Lane\, and Margaret Sanger\, all published by Drawn and Quarterly. He won two Harvey Awards in 1991\, one for best cartoonist and one for his work on Hate\, was presented with an Inkpot Award at San Diego Comic-Con International in 2010\, and was named a Rockefeller Fellow for Literature in 2014.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEverett True\, aka Jerry Thackray\, is best-known as “the man who invented grunge”\, the critic Kurt Cobain once called “the biggest rock star journalist in the world”. He holds a PhD in Music Journalism and has been a freelance music critic for over 30 years. He has edited\, published and written for numerous magazines and websites in the UK\, US and Australia\, including Melody Maker\, NME\, The Guardian\, Rolling Stone\, MOJO\, Classic Rock and Plan B Magazine. \nHe has written several books on rock music (Nirvana\, Ramones\, The White Stripes) and\, under his stage name The Legend!\, released the first record on Creation Records. Nick Cave described The Legend!’s onstage performance as being “more entertaining than Nina Simone”.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Maids Book Launch with Katie Skelly and Alissa Bennett
DESCRIPTION:McNally Jackson Books hosts a virtual book launch for Maids\, the new true-crime graphic novel by Brooklyn cartoonist Katie Skelly! She’ll be in conversation with zinester\, podcaster\, and celebrity death chronicler Alissa Bennet. RSVP and get your signed bookplate edition of the new book here. \n  \n \n  \nLea and Christine are maids. Their mistress is strict. If they are fired\, they will be homeless. Their mornings are for cooking and tidying. Gardening at midday. In the evening\, they smoke cigarettes and reminisce. As the narrative progresses\, it becomes painfully clear that family and religion has failed them. On February 2\, 1933\, they will murder everybody in the house. Both a true crime saga and an allegory of societal collapse\, Maids finds artist Katie Skelly at her most subversively naturalistic. To observe people serving\, day in and day out\, is to become acclimated to the lie that some are born to serve. Everything that is\, will be forever… won’t it? \nKatie Skelly lives and works in New York City. Her previous comics include My Pretty Vampire\, The Agency\, Operation Margarine\, and Nurse Nurse. Skelly holds a B.A. in Art History from Syracuse University and was awarded the Emerging Artist Prize at Cartoon Crossroads Columbus in 2015. \nAlissa Bennett is a director at the Barbara Gladstone Gallery\, and the co-host of the podcast The C-Word with Lena Dunham. She is also a prolific essayist and creator of several zine series\, including Bad Behavior\, Dead Is Better\, and others.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Tenacious D at New York Comic Con!
DESCRIPTION:Live with Tenacious D! | The Post-Apocalypto Graphic Novel Spotlight \nJoin Jack Black and Kyle Gass for a LIVE New York Comic Con celebration of their new book\, Post-Apocalypto: The Graphic Novel from Fantagraphics! Post-Apocalypto finds Tenacious D thrust into a world of complete and utter destruction following the drop of an atomic bomb. Surviving the attack in classic cinematic fashion (a good old imperishable 1950s refrigerator)\, the duo quickly learn that new forms of evil have spawned from the blast. One thing becomes apparent – for humanity to prevail\, Tenacious D must save the world. With unimaginable twists and turns\, an insane visit to the White House\, a time machine\, a space adventure\, and the help of some tried-and-true daddy issues\, Post-Apocalypto is as hilarious as it is political\, and as brilliant and multi-faceted as its incredible creators. The D will be talking to NPR Books Editor Petra Mayer about the creation of their latest masterpiece! \nThe panel is free\, available to watch worldwide\, and will be streamed on youtube.com/NYCC on Thursday October 8th 4:55pm EDT / 1:55pm PDT. Panel run time: 30 minutes \nPick up a signed copy of Post-Apocalypto: The Graphic Novel here! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Los Angeles: Robert Williams: The Father of Exponential Imagination
DESCRIPTION:The Last Bookstore LA is pleased to welcome local legend Robert Williams to celebrate the release of the new fine art collection\, Robert Williams: The Father of Exponential Imagination\, from Fantagraphics Books. This 484 volume is a comprehensive\, career-spanning collection of the iconic painter’s fine art\, including over 300 oil paintings as well as drawings\, sculptures\, and more. Simply put\, this is the definitive collection that Williams has been working towards his entire career. \nIn addition to hundreds of paintings\, drawings\, and sculptures\, Robert Williams: The Father of Exponential Imagination features an introductory essay by Coagula Art Journal founder Mat Gleason (who will interview Williams onstage at this event)\, a new foreword and annotations by Williams himself\, rare photos\, artifacts\, and ephemera. \nThis alternative art movement found its most apt participant in one of America’s most controversial underground artists\, the painter\, Robert Williams. Born in 1943\, Williams pursued a career as a fine arts painter for years before joining the art studio of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth in the mid-1960s. As the famous custom car builder’s art director\, he moved into the rebellious\, anti-war circles of early Underground Comix. In 1968\, Williams linked up with the infamous San Francisco group that piloted the flagship of the miscreant cartoon world\, Zap Comix. In 1994\, he founded Juxtapoz Magazine to celebrate urban alternative and underground contemporary art and confront the art establishment that is responsible for the emptiness and banality of most gallery- and museum-displayed art. He lives with his wife\, Suzanne Williams\, in Los Angeles. \nNote: This event is free to attend. A purchased ticket includes – and is the same price as – the book! I.e. you only need to purchase a ticket if you want to be guaranteed a copy of the book for the signing.
