SUMMARY:Portland\, OR: Josh Simmons (Jessica Farm) + Patrick Keck (Crusher Loves Bleeder Bleeder Loves Crusher) Book Signing at Floating World Comics
DESCRIPTION:Hey Portland\, don’t miss Josh Simmons (Jessica Farm) and Patrick Keck (Crusher Loves Bleeder Bleeder Loves Crusher)at Floating World! \n  \nAbout Jessica Farm: Like a Lynchian take on Alice in Wonderland\, Jessica Farm opens with an exterior of what could be any Midwestern farmhouse. Once inside\, we track our titular heroine (she is a person\, not a place) as she bounds out of bed on Christmas morning and goes about her routine\, eventually breakfasting with her grandparents. The banality of the situation is subverted by a ratcheting sense of dread\, as we discover that Jessica’s increasingly nightmarish house — where the inside seems bigger than the outside\, like Snoopy’s doghouse — is filled with creatures around every corner: some whimsical\, some sexual\, some despairing\, and some malevolent. Most terrifying of all is Jessica’s father. Will she even get to open the presents under the Christmas tree? \nTaking place over a single Christmas Day\, Jessica Farm is a career-spanning comics project in which Simmons has been drawing one page every month for the past 24 years\, starting in January 2000. This is a horror-fantasy-psychodrama that will appeal to fans of Charles Burns\, David Cronenberg\, and Dario Argento. \nAbout Crusher Loves Bleeder Bleeder Loves Crusher: A boy loves a bug and a bug loves a boy\, but can a bug love a boy for more than his blood? The old-timers in Texas’s Erzsébet county say that nature don’t ask permission\, it feeds when it needs. But the bloodsucking bug in this here yarn got to thinking that nature ought not be absolute. Would you believe that this guy would rather dry up ‘n die than ruin another picnic by taking his thirsty fangs to the softest baby with the deepest veins? And would you believe\, just when he’s ready to die of thirst and turn to dust\, a sickly human boy named Thum — a kind-hearted crusher done crushin’ — finds our starving bug — a big-hearted bleeder done bleedin’ — and hatches a plan to invite this feederfly back to where he slumbers? \n‘Cause what difference does it make to a deep sleeper if you punch a hole real gentle and slurp-slurp real quiet? When the fully sated feeder’s kin catch wind of his safe space for suckling\, he realizes that there are matters more complicated than how and when to die. Does Thum’s frail frame house enough blood for the swarm or does devotion to the hive leave Thum a husk? How do you choose between those who are kind to you and those who are just your kind when one lives for the other’s suffering? Better pick quick\, little bleeder\, or you bet yer butt you’ll regret it. \n

SUMMARY:Los Angeles\, CA: Jaime Hernandez (Life Drawing) Book Launch at Skylight Books
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss Jaime Hernandez’s book launch for Life Drawing: A Love and Rockets Collection at Skylight Books on 2/27! \nAbout the book: Ten years in the making (and torn from the pages of the legendary Love and Rockets)\, Jaime Hernandez’s newest graphic novel skillfully weaves two generations of his beloved characters into a satisfying story of love—both young and middle-aged. Life Drawing darts primarily between the youthful Tonta and the venerable Maggie. Tonta has a crush on her art teacher\, Ray\, as well as an axe to grind with an older woman in the neighborhood. When Tonta finds that the woman\, Maggie\, is married to Ray\, things get complicated. And Tonta does not handle complications well. \nLife Drawing showcases Hernandez’s brilliant talent for character\, weaving relationships\, rejections\, infidelities\, and adventures involving: Tonta’s self-involved sisters Vivian\, Violet\, and Muñeca; her colorful pals Gomez\, Judy Fair\, and Brown Alice; her mother\, the infamous ‘Black Widow of the Valley’; and of course\, the two great loves of Maggie’s life\, Ray and Hopey. There’s also a forest spirit\, two weddings\, some cosplay\, a little pole dancing\, and page after page of breathtaking comics by the medium’s most wide-eyed romantic. Did we mention the weddings?

SUMMARY:Greensboro\, NC: Kayla E. (Precious Rubbish) in conversation with Jennifer Whitaker (The Blue Hour) at Scuppernong Books
DESCRIPTION:Kayla E. in conversation with Jennifer Whitaker \nA landmark graphic novel debut and groundbreaking work of trauma recollection told in the style of post-war children’s comics. \n“If an exorcism can ever be slow and quiet\, then every panel I’ve finished has felt something like an exorcism. The gutters give me space to make sense of things: to connect dots and close gaps. To remember.” Kayla E.’s Precious Rubbish is an experimental graphic memoir drawn in a style that references the aesthetics of mid-century children’s comics and tells the story of a childhood shaped by maternal emotional dysregulation\, rural poverty\, and incest. The author’s childhood is portrayed as a collection of short-form comics and gag panels punctuated by interactive elements like paper dolls\, satirical advertisements\, games\, and puzzles. \nWhile the work is concerned with violence and a particularly Texan brand of Pentecostal fanaticism\, it is presented in a playful visual language with a deadpan humor that elevates the material beyond mere graphic memoir. Precious Rubbish is a landmark work of comics storytelling and graphic medicine. \nThe debut graphic novel from artist Kayla E.\, Precious Rubbish asks the reader to do the extratextual work of filling out narrative gaps\, which mirrors the challenge of trauma recollection. The reader is invited to co-labor in the meaning-making process\, an exercise that facilitates an intimacy (between the author\, the subject\, and the reader) that is at once horrifying and hilarious. \nKAYLA E. (she/her) is an award-winning Texas-born artist of Mexican American descent. She works as creative director at Fantagraphics and is a recipient of a 2023-2024 Princeton Hodder Fellowship. She is the co-founder and former President of Nat. Brut Inc.\, a non-profit that produces an art and literary magazine\, of which she was the Editor-in-Chief for nine years. She earned her B.A. in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard University\, where she served as the Art Director for the Harvard Lampoon. Precious Rubbish\, her graphic novel debut\, is a work of trauma recollection told in the style of post-war children’s comics. Kayla lives in North Carolina with her wife and two dogs. You can find her at kaylaework.com and on Instagram @precious.rubbish. \nJENNIFER WHITAKER is the author of The Blue Hour\, winner of the Brittingham Prize and published from the University of Wisconsin Press in 2016. Her poems have appeared in journals including Radar Poetry\, New England Review\, Beloit Poetry Journal\, and Four Way Review. Originally from Midlothian\, Virginia\, Jennifer earned her MFA from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She is an assistant poetry editor at storySouth. She currently lives in Greensboro\, North Carolina\, where she is Director of the University Writing Center at UNCG.

SUMMARY:Richmond\, VA: Kayla E (Precious Rubbish) in conversation with Dr. Francesca Lyn at the Graphic Narratives Lab
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThe Graphic Narratives Lab\, in collaboration with independent artist Rae Whitlock\, is hosting an artist talk with Kayla E.\, creative director of Fantagraphics\, in conversation with Dr. Francesa Lyn\, co-director of the Graphic Narratives Lab. The talk will be about Kayla E.’s forthcoming graphic memoir\, Precious Rubbish\, followed by a book signing. Register here! \nAbout the Book:\nKayla E.’s Precious Rubbish is an experimental graphic memoir drawn in a style that references the aesthetics of mid-century children’s comics and tells the story of a childhood shaped by maternal emotional dysregulation\, rural poverty\, and incest. The author’s childhood is portrayed as a collection of short-form comics and gag panels punctuated by interactive elements like paper dolls\, satirical advertisements\, games\, and puzzles. \nWhile the work is concerned with violence and a particularly Texan brand of Pentecostal fanaticism\, it is presented in a playful visual language with a deadpan humor that elevates the material beyond mere graphic memoir. Precious Rubbish is a landmark work of comics storytelling and graphic medicine. \nThe debut graphic novel from artist Kayla E.\, Precious Rubbish asks the reader to do the extratextual work of filling out narrative gaps\, which mirrors the challenge of trauma recollection. The reader is invited to co-labor in the meaning-making process\, an exercise that facilitates an intimacy (between the author\, the subject\, and the reader) that is at once horrifying and hilarious. \nAbout the Artist:\nKayla E. is a Texas-born artist of Mexican-American descent. Her comics practice centers around her childhood and functions as a map-making exercise. Leaning heavily on the fixed compositional structure and aesthetic codes of post-war American comics\, she imposes order onto recollections once disorganized by intrafamilial abuse\, addiction\, and sexual violence. Her textile work and painting practice are concerned with memories that present as unmappable. She currently works as the creative director at Fantagraphics and is the co-founder and former president of Nat. Brut Inc. She holds a B.A. from Harvard University\, where she received the Albert Alcalay Prize in Visual Arts and served as the art director for the Harvard Lampoon. Kayla is also a public speaker and has been invited to speak about her work at universities and conferences across the country. In 2023\, she was granted a Princeton Hodder Fellowship to support the completion of her first book.
