SUMMARY:New York\, NY: Fantagraphics at Table 52 at MoCCA
DESCRIPTION:Fantagraphics is going to MoCCA on March 28th-29th! Visit us at Table 52 at the Metropolitan Pavilion for artist signings\, new books (including some that aren’t out yet!)\, and merch! You can find the schedule of panels and signings below: \n\n\n\nFantagraphics Table 52 Signing Schedule:\n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 28th:  \n1:00-2:00 pm: Walker Tate (Laser Eye Surgery) + Mia Wolff (Bread & Wine: An Erotic Tale of New York) \n2:00-3:00 pm: Kim Deitch (How I Make Comics) + Anna Haifisch (Ready America) \n3:00-4:00 pm: Stan Mack (Stan Mack’s Real Life Funnies) + Max Huffman (Dogtangle) + + Julia Gfrörer (World Within the World) \n\n\n\nSunday\, March 29th:  \n1:00-2:00 pm: Kim Deitch (How I Make Comics) + Walker Tate (Laser Eye Surgery) \n2:00-3:00 pm: Mia Wolff (Bread & Wine: An Erotic Tale of New York) + Stan Mack (Stan Mack’s Real Life Funnies) \n3:00-4:00 pm: Max Huffman (Dogtangle) \n4:00-5:00 pm: Anna Haifisch (Ready America) + + Julia Gfrörer (World Within the World) \n\n\n\n\n\nProgramming Schedule:\n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 28th:  \n\n\n\nKim Deitch: How I Make Comics\, 1:30-2:00 pm\, Space One: Legendary artist Kim Deitch is one of the founding members of the underground comix generation\, starting his career in the mid-1960s at the East Village Other. In the years since he has authored an entire library of brilliant\, complex graphic novels that reliably offer readers a visionary tour through the border lands between art and insanity\, filled with love for the cherished moments and cultural artifacts that redeem our struggling human race. He will discuss his latest graphic novel\, How I Make Comics\, in an in-depth conversation with moderator Bill Kartalopoulos \n\n\n\nCOPRA: Post-Mortem\, 3:00-4:00 pm\, Space Two: In 2012 Cuban-American artist Michel Fiffe began a singular creative journey with his self-published comic book series COPRA. Blending influences from second-tier superhero team books (Suicide Squad) and independent comics (Love and Rockets)\, Fiffe brought an auteurist approach to the 24-page\, full-color comic book while navigating the machinery of the direct market system. This past year\, with the releases of The Death of COPRA and COPRA #50\, Fiffe has realized his vision and steered his series to its conclusion. He will reflect on thirteen years of COPRA in conversation with Tucker Stone (Fantagraphics Books). \n\n\n\nSunday\, March 29th: The Comics Journal at 50\, 1:30-2:30 pm\, Space Two: In 1976\, Gary Groth and co-founder Michael Catron bought a failing advertising-driven tabloid called the Nostalgia Journal. Within months they reinvented it as The Comics Journal\, a new magazine of comics news and criticism and the cornerstone of what would become Fantagraphics Books. The Journal distinguished itself with no-holds-barred criticism and fearless\, muckraking industry journalism. New York Times comics critic Sam Thielman will lead a conversation about the magazine’s past and present\, with Groth and current Comics Journal editors Austin English\, Sally Madden\, and Chris Mautner. \n\n\n\nAnna Haifisch: The Artist is Present\, 3:00-4:00 pm\, Space One: German artist Anna Haifisch’s comics synthesize the fragility of Charles Schulz’s line with the introspection of alternative comics to depict and satirize the intimate melodramas that constitute the creative life. Her own artwork is infused with saturated colors informed by her background as a printmaker and is peppered with art historical references ranging from Japanese ukiyo-e to Western conceptualism. America is a frequent subject in her work as well\, a subject she treats with fondness and amusement. She will discuss her work in this special spotlight conversation with arts writer and former BOMB comics editor Chantal McStay. \n\n\n\nModern Horror\, 3:00-4:00 pm\, Space Two: The mundane horrors of everyday life are often amplified to otherworldly levels in literature\, film\, and comics; the monsters that we treat as “other” are often revealed to be our own dark reflections. At a moment of historical turmoil\, horror becomes a way to process contemporary anxieties. Indie film offers a personalized\, auteurist approach to horror\, as do comics\, like the popular and influential works of Charles Burns and Junji Ito. Comics Journal editor Sally Madden will discuss contemporary takes on horror with Julia Gfrörer (World Within the World)\, Gigi Murakami (Resenter\, RazorBlades)\, and Yu-Tung Yeh (A.I. Meets Ghos

SUMMARY:Corte Madera\, CA: Monte Schulz (Undercity) Book Event at Book Passage & Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Book Passage for an author event celebrating Monte Schulz and his new book\, Undercity: A Novel! A warning on the consequences of inattention and apathy. \nIn an uncannily prescient novel eerily relevant to our contemporary political moment\, Undercity unfolds across 16 interconnected vignettes\, as author Monte Schulz charts the lives of two dozen characters desperately trying to survive and retain their humanity in a civil order that has tumbled into totalitarianism. \nABOUT THIS EVENT \nThis event will be hosted by Book Passage at our Corte Madera store.\nFree Admission/ Open Seating\nFollowing the presentation\, there will be a signing line or a meet-and-greet.\nIf you are unable to attend the event\, you can still get your copy by clicking the “BUY THE BOOK” link here. If you would like a signed or personalized book\, please note that in the order comment field.\nFor any questions regarding our events\, please contact us at books@bookpassage.com. \n“My name is Marco Grenelle\, and I’m probably insane. It troubles me\, though I’ve learned to adapt. I’m here to tell you my story. It’s a fine tale\, I promise. So\, listen closely.” \nOnce there was a republic of boundless wonder and achievement whose bright horizon had gone dark\, soiled by a populace it imagined as undisciplined\, unhealthy\, feebleminded\, and whose very existence stained and subverted a great society. A solution appeared in the furious logic of Biological Dominion that named the ineffectual and weak\, the criminally deformed and unwell\, as the root cause of this decline. Now\, imagine laws conceived in the high halls of government to rid this society of millions deemed infected by a curious disease supposedly responsible for that poverty of health and morality. Next\, imagine those millions considered to be unfit and unworthy for daily life\, loaded onto freight trains and ushered away to perish in distant woods and fields. Imagine thousands more chased into the vast underground of labyrinthine caves and dark catacombs beneath vibrant city streets and lovely city parks to wither away and die. \nUndercity collects the voices of brave survivors\, of those who’ve refused to submit to the indignities of eugenical persecution\, the horror of gas chambers\, and relentless warfare in rural provinces. Some of these stories demonstrate the moral disaster of eugenics\, while others tell of courage and love and that indomitable magic of the human spirit that refuses to be silenced in the face of unspeakable crimes. Perhaps Undercity is a warning to us\, as well\, that what we might think is unimaginable needs only apathy and inattention to arise. \nMonte Schulz received his M.A. in American Studies from University of California\, Santa Barbara. He published his first novel\, Down by the River\, in 1990\, and spent the next twelve years writing a novel about the Jazz Age\, Crossing Eden. Monte is also a composer\, songwriter and producer whose most recent album is titled “Seraphonium.” In 2010\, he became the owner of the Santa Barbara Writers Conference. Monte is endlessly curious and well versed in world history and theology. He is fascinated by the style and use of innovative language\, and can be caught engaging in provocative\, philosophical conversations about big\, far-reaching\, imaginative\, ideas and worldly perspectives. His father is the late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. He lives in Santa Barbara\, CA.
