Discuss an intriguing book in a relaxed atmosphere at the next meeting of the HUB COMICS BOOK CLHUB! We’ll talk both form and content regarding our pick-of-the-month, Batman: Year One by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, which is 10% off now ‘til BOOK CLHUB!
(Eagle-eyed readers will note that recent BOOK CLHUB picks have included a super-hero story and also a graphic novel by Mazzucchelli. Our intention was not to go back to those wells so soon, but due to a complication with our distributor, this is a late substitution. We were going to read Batman: Year One for BOOK CLHUB in a few months, and moved it up last minute to keep BOOK CLHUB running smoothly.)
–Readers of all experience levels are welcome.
–You don’t even have to buy a copy from Hub Comics!
–Admission is free, but bringing a physical copy is required.
Join us Wednesday, May 13th at 7pm! Scroll down for creator bios, and click to enlarge:
About the writer and artists:
Frank Miller is the writer/artist of a celebrated run on Marvel’s Daredevil, and for DC Comics, Ronin and the influential Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Miller reinvigorated the crime genre with his black and white Sin City comics, published by Dark Horse. In the film industry, he contributed to the screenplays for Robocop 2 and Robocop 3, co-wrote and co-directed Sin City and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and wrote and directed The Spirit.
David Mazzucchelli has been making comics his whole life. Known chiefly for his collaborations— with Frank Miller on seminal Batman and Daredevil stories, and with Paul Karasik on an adaptation of Paul Auster’s novel, City of Glass—he began publishing his own stories in 1991 in his anthology magazine, Rubber Blanket. Since then his short comics have been published in books and magazines around the world. Asterios Polyp is his first graphic novel, won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and was listed as a New York Times notable book.
Richmond Lewis holds a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. Her awards include the Florence Leif Prize for painting from RISD and a New Jersey State Council on the Arts Fellowship. Her longtime fascination with painting history has led her to study techniques such as traditional oil glaze painting, Tibetan thangka painting, Russian icon painting in egg tempera, and Japanese woodblock printmaking. Her work has been exhibited at The Drawing Center (NY), Anne Plumb Gallery (NY), Avenue B Gallery (NY), Rutgers University (NJ), Massachusetts College of Art, Adelphi University (NY), and Periphery Space (RI). Lewis briefly worked in the comics industry in the 1980s as a color artist, expanding the scope of the limited palette of four-color printing on newsprint.
