August 1: Paul Karasik at Politics & Prose

I'll be travelling, otherwise I would go to this. I've already bought the book from Big Planet Comics.

Wednesday, August 1, 7 p.m.
PAUL KARASIK
I SHALL DESTROY ALL THE CIVILIZED PLANETS (Fantagraphics, $19.95)
With fanatic zeal, Karasik spent years tracking down and archiving the almost-forgotten comic book tales of Fletcher Hanks. They are uncanny tales from the golden age of comics, where the heroes have a penchant for poetic justice. Then Karasik gives us his powerful personal narrative of meeting Hanks’s son and hearing about why the father disappeared from cartooning.

Thanks for the plug and kind words.

For readers unfamiliar with Hanks work, may I suggest that you float over to my website and click on the BONUS page for a Fantomah story by Hanks that does NOT appear in my book.

See you on August 1st!
