Greenlight welcomes cartoonist Lane Milburn for the launch of his debut science fiction graphic novel, Lure, a scintillating, close-to-home dystopic parable rendered in haunting and kaleidoscopic detail. In a questionably-distant future, the world’s elite use the ocean planet Lure as a luxury vacation hub—but when climate change threatens Earth’s long-term habitability, many of those who can afford it move to Lure for good. When artist Jo Spartz is invited to Lure to collaborate on a large-scale public art installation, it seems like the chance of a lifetime until she stumbles across a nefarious plot by her corporate benefactors and feels compelled to go public. Sound familiar? Milburn is joined in conversation by cartoonist, publisher, and author of Beta Testing the Ongoing Apocalypse Tom Kaczynski for a conversation on dystopian fiction, the craft of comics and the value of art in the light of climate change.
