Dec 2-3 Mattie Lubchansky - Jamie Noguchi & Danielle Corsetto at Fantom Comics

>>> QUEER BOOK CLUB & AUTHOR SIGNING: BOYS WEEKEND WITH MATTIE LUBCHANSKY!
>> SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2nd @ 3pm

In-person author event alert! In collaboration with DC Trans Book Club we're hosting award-winning cartoonist Mattie Lubchansky to discuss & sign their graphic novel BOYS WEEKEND, available at Fantom now!

Part satire, part horror, Boys Weekend explores what it's like to exist as a transfemme person in a man's world, the difficulty of maintaining friendships through transition, and the more cult-like effects of masculinity, "hustle" culture, and capitalism—all through the vibrant lens of a surreal, scary, and immensely imaginative romp.

Fantom is on the 2nd floor, up 23 stairs. Masks encouraged.

>>> AUTHOR EVENT & SIGNING: SCHOOL FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL GIRLS w/ JAMIE NOGUCHI & DANIELLE CORSETTO!
>> SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3rd @ 3pm!

The students of SCHOOL FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL GIRLS soar again! Join longtime Fantom friend Jamie Noguchi & Danielle Corsetto at FANTOM COMICS for a launch celebration and signing of volume 2 of the hit coming-of-age sci-fi adventure!

FROM VOLUME 1:

Tara Smith's parents are super strict with all their rules and routines, and Tara is a dutiful daughter. Rule #1: No friends her own age. Rule #2: keep her bracelet on, or else. But when she breaks her routine—and then loses her bracelet—she's in trouble.

Now outed as an extraterrestrial after wielding fire and losing her humanoid form, Tara is captured by the government. She's given two options: get shipped far away where she won't be a danger to anyone or stay on Earth and join a school for other extraterrestrial girls like her. Things at the school aren't easy—especially for the girl whose only friends were textbooks. But Tara's goal to learn how to control her powers is soon sidelined by the discovery that the people she's called Mom and Dad all these years aren't her parents.

Copies of the books will be available for purchase at the event!
