Hi Michael
Small Press Expo is proud to announce the sponsorship of the World Premiere of Married To Comics, which will be held at the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center on Friday, September 8, at 7PM.
Married to Comics, by veteran documentarian John Kinhart, is the story of graphic novelist Carol Tyler and her husband, the ground-breaking and influential cartoonist Justin Green, who passed away last year.
The documentary offers a rare glimpse into the life and art of two giants of autobiographical comics, who are also married. Laying their personal lives to bare in comics, including the intimate details of their troubled marriage, the two of them pioneered and set the bar for one of comics' most important genres.
There will be on-screen appearances by famed cartoonists Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, Phoebe Gloeckner and Denis Kitchen, along with many others.
Following the screening, there will be a conversation between SPX fav Carol Tyler, John Kinhart and Gary Groth of Fantagraphics, the publisher of Carol Tyler's award winning graphic novels.
