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.
This 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. Join us at Portland’s historic non-profit The Hollywood Theatre on Saturday August 25 at 2pm for a slideshow retrospective of Osborne’s very strange life and lurking legacy by preeminent underground comix historian Patrick Rosenkranz, followed by a suitably sinister “surprise” cinematic classic that perfectly reflects the dark Osbornian aesthetic. What kind of movie would inspire a deceased cartoonist and former High Priest in the Church of Satan? Hmmm. Come find out! Dread and Rosenkranz will have books available in the lobby during the screening.
Saturday, August 25 at 2 PM – 5 PM
ALL HAIL THE BLACK PRINCE!
