SUMMARY:Washington\, DC: Ali Fitzgerald at Politics and Prose

SUMMARY:Washington\, DC: Ali Fitzgerald Signs Drawn to Berlin at Politics & Prose
DESCRIPTION:**Note\, this event will be at the new Politics & Prose location in Union Market. \nEntwining political and personal displacement\, Ali Fitzgerald’s graphic memoir\, Drawn to Berlin: Comic Workshops in Refugee Shelters and Other Stories from a New Europe\, is about loss\, community\, and the drawings that bind us. The students in Fitzgerald’s drawing classes are among the record-breaking number of people who are seeking asylum in Berlin\, fleeing from countries such as Syria and Afghanistan. They draw images of experienced violence and careful optimism: rafts and tanks\, flowers and the Eiffel Tower. Over the course of her decade in Germany\, Fitzgerald experiences the highs of the creatively hopeful along with the deep depression of the disillusioned\, all while waiting to stumble into her own glory like the great Modernists before her. Her comics are compassionate and unflinchingly intimate\, as the fantasy of her bohemia crumbles in a globalized city. \n“Ali Fitzgerald has given us a beautifully crafted and sobering history lesson.” –Harry Bliss\, New Yorker cartoonist \nAli Fitzgerald is a comic artist and writer living in Berlin. She is a regular contributor to the New Yorker. Her comics have also appeared in New York Magazine’s The Cut\, The New York Times\, The Huffington Post\, Bitch\, and The Guardian. From 2013 to 2016\, she wrote and drew the popular webcomic Hungover Bear and Friends for McSweeney’s. \nFor more info:\nquimbys.com/blog/store-events/\nfantagraphics.com/drawntoberlin

SUMMARY:Los Angeles: Nick Thorburn signs Penguins at Soap Plant + Wacko
DESCRIPTION:PENGUINS: Nick Thorburn Signing Party\nSaturday 25 August\n7 — 10P\nSoap Plant Wacko: Purveyor of Post-Pop Culture\nLa Luz De Jesus Gallery \n///// \nPlease join SOAP PLANT + WACKO\, LA LUZ DE JESUS GALLERY & Fantagraphics Books Inc. as we celebrate the release of Nick Thorburn‘s first graphic novel PENGUINS with music\, drink & a few of Thorburn’s original works. \nQ+A with Nick Thorburn led by comedian + author Jon Daly (Masterminds\, Kroll Show\, Another Period) begins at 8p sharp. \nEarly-release copies of the book will be on sale at the signing event & available for order online to be signed & shipped. PENGUINS is set for public release in September. \nRSVP on Facebook to stay updated on further event details. \nABOUT THE BOOK /// \nTold almost entirely without words\, Penguins is one of the most playfully original graphic novels in recent memory. As author Nick Thorburn explains\, “Penguins go through a lot of hell that could be avoided if they had the ability to fly. This cruel irony lends itself to humor\, as well as sadness. Death and the desperate search for love and companionship seem so tethered to life as a penguin\, as well as for humans\, and so the goal was to bridge those two and make them funny.” \nRelying on visual expression and the physical movement of his penguin characters\, as well as the formal properties of sequential drawings (with penguins routinely moving within and without each page’s panel borders)\, Penguins is a series of interconnected short strips that\, without words or human characters\, does more to showcase the breadth of emotion we as humans experience than most prose novels. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR /// \nNick Thorburn (b. 1981) is a Canadian musician\, cartoonist\, and actor best known for fronting numerous bands such as the Unicorns\, Islands\, Reefer\, and Human Highway. Penguins is his first graphic novel. He lives in Los Angeles. \n///// \nPress inquiries or general questions? Please contact Book Manager Tricia Fetters at tricia@soapplant.com.

SUMMARY:Portland\, OR: Jim Osborne: The Black Prince of the Underground Book Release
DESCRIPTION:WYRD WAR and Fantagraphics Books Inc. join forces to celebrate the release of Jim Osborne: The Black Prince Of The Underground\, the definitive ADULTS ONLY collected work and biography of one of America’s most perplexing\, violent and haunted underground comix artists. \nThis slender comic-sized tome by Patrick Rosenkranz and Dennis Dread casts light on the elusive legend of the underground known as the “Black Prince” for the first time ever.

Dread and Rosenkranz will have books available in the lobby during the screening. \nSaturday\, August 25 at 2 PM – 5 PM \nALL HAIL THE BLACK PRINCE!

SUMMARY:Seattle: Jim Woodring presents Poochytown at the Frye Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Fantagraphics Books and the Frye Art Museum present a program to celebrate the launch of the new book Poochytown\, Woodring’s newest psychedelic graphic novel. Woodring will give a lecture on his new work followed by a conversation with Simon Hanselmann. Frank—Woodring’s beloved anthropomorph—has been subjected to hundreds of unbelievable adventures over the years\, yet nothing could prepare either him or the world at large for the transdimensional depredations of Poochytown\, the latest and greatest installment in the ongoing saga that began with Congress of the Animals\, began again in Fran\, and now begins anew. Q&A and book signing will follow. \nPoochytown will be available for purchase in the Museum Store\, along with other titles by Jim Woodring. \nABOUT THE PRESENTERS\nJim Woodring was born in Los Angeles in 1952. He taught himself to draw in order to express his view of the world. He wrote and drew the first Frank story in 1992. He has also created a body of autobiographical material (collected in the book Jim) and allegorical puzzle-pictures (Seeing Things). Jim’s work has garnered him numerous awards\, including a United States Artist Fellowship (with Bill Frisell) in 2006; an Inkpot Award at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con; and most recently\, The Stranger named Jim their 2010 Literature Genius. He lives on Vashon Island in Washington State with his family and on jimwoodring.com. \nSimon Hanselmann (b. 1981\, Tasmania) is a New York Times best-selling cartoonist and spends his days meticulously watercoloring each page of the comics he hand draws.

SUMMARY:White River Junction\, Vermont: Graphic Medicine Conference
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Comics and Medicine Conference invites participants to share and reflect upon how graphic medicine works. In the context of health and its relationship to comics\, “work” can refer to a number of activities: the work of medical and related professionals; the functioning of our bodies and minds; the creation or study of artistic and educational materials; the study of the archive or images/texts; work with reader communities; and the organization of collaborative community health efforts. The spaces in which “work” takes place provide another point of reflection: public healthcare centers\, classrooms\, home studios\, private clinics\, libraries\, and bedsides. In this relatively new interdisciplinary field\, we hope to document and refine—from our various perspectives and experiences—the territory where cartooning and health care intersect. Full conference schedule can be found here. \n  \nParticipating Fantagraphics artists will include Ellen Forney and Georgia Webber.

SUMMARY:Portland\, OR: Jim Woodring signs Poochytown at Floating World Comics
DESCRIPTION:Jim Woodring is coming to Floating World on Saturday\, July 28 to celebrate the release of his latest graphic novel – Poochytown. \nJim Woodring’s beloved anthropomorph called Frank has been subjected to hundreds of unbelievable adventures veering crazily from exaltation to despair. The delicious mysteries of Frank’s universe — aka The Unifactor — have beguiled Frank and his readers for years\, yet nothing could prepare either him or the world at large for the transdimensional depredations of Poochytown\, the latest and greatest installment in the ongoing saga that began with Congress of the Animals\, began again in Fran\, and now begins anew. \nWhen Pupshaw and Pushpaw depart for the orgiastic delights of Poochytown\, the forlorn Frank is thrown by a twist of fate into an unlikely friendship\, propelling him down a long road of escapades and trials that ends in one of the most shocking acts ever depicted in the Frank canon. Poochytown takes readers to the distant crumbling edge of the Unifactor\, where the landscape’s mind is either unfettered or unhinged\, depending on your particular taste for mischief. What occurs there beggars description\, so we will not even attempt it\, but rest assured it is a dark-ride-of-the-soul as only the Frank stories can deliver. \nUtterly devoid of topicality\, irony\, or deliberate cynicism\, the Frank stories are instead timeless cartoon sustenance\, and Poochytown is the most opulently openhanded offering yet. This is a major new book from one of Fantagraphics’s most beloved authors. \n“Brilliant… what a trip… I dig this… a lot\, man… Jim really gives it to us.” — Jeff Bridges \nWHO: Jim Woodring\nWHAT: Poochytown book signing\nWHEN: Saturday July 28\, 5-7pm\nWHERE: Floating World Comics\, 400 NW Couch St. \nJim Woodring was born in Los Angeles in 1952 and enjoyed a childhood made lively by an assortment of mental and psychological quirks including paroniria\, paranoia\, paracusia\, apparitions\, hallucinations and other species of psychological and neurological malfunction among the snakes and tarantulas of the San Gabriel mountains. \nHe is best known for his wordless comics series depicting the follies of his character Frank\, a generic cartoon anthropomorph whose adventures careen wildly from sweet to appalling. A decade’s worth of these stories was collected in THE FRANK BOOK in 2004. The 2010 Frank story WEATHERCRAFT won The Stranger’s Genius Award and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for that year. The most recent Frank book\, CONGRESS OF THE ANIMALS\, was released in 2011.

SUMMARY:London: Jim Broadbent & Dix sign Dull Margaret at Gosh Comics
DESCRIPTION:Gosh comics will have Jim Broadbent and Dix here to discuss their new graphic novel Dull Margaret with Paul Gravett on Tuesday the 26th June\, 7.30-9pm. We’ll also have copies of our exclusive Dull Margaret Gosh! Bookplate Edition available on the night! \nAcademy Award-winning actor (and some might say national treasure) Jim Broadbent has turned his hand to the graphic novel format\, teaming with Dix\, of Guardian strip Roll Up! Roll Up! fame\, to present a tale that finds its start in the Pieter Bruegel the Elder 16th Century painting Dulle Griet\, with its striking image of a breastplated woman with a sword in one hand in front of the mouth of hell. \nDull Margaret leads a miserable life hunting slippery\, slimy eels to sell at the marketplace. In town\, she finds that she does not belong: the locals shun her\, steal from her\, and send her away to her crude shack far away from civilization. Fed up with the cruel world\, she decides to take fate into her own hands\, mixing a witch’s brew to bring her friendship and riches. But she soon learns to be careful what she wishes for\, as this powerful magic sends her down a series of shocking and gruesome twists and turns. Intense\, bleak\, and darkly humorous\, Dull Margaret is one of the most unexpected and original graphic novels of 2018. \nWe’re thrilled to be able to offer a Gosh! Exclusive Bookplate Edition of Dull Margaret\, available to buy on the night. If you can’t make it along but would like a copy\, you can pre-order now via our webstore. \nJim Broadbent and Dix will be here to discuss their work with noted comics scholar Paul Gravett\, from the genesis of the project through to their collaborative process\, on Tuesday the 26th June\, 7.30-9pm. We will close briefly at 7pm for setup before letting people in shortly before start time. No need for tickets or reservations\, seating will allocated on a first-come\, first-served basis.
