Sometimes-local historian Ryan Holmberg cartooned at TCJ

 Ben Passmore Reports Back On An Evening With Yoshitoshi!

BY Ben Passmore Oct 10, 2019
http://www.tcj.com/ben-passmore-reports-back-on-an-evening-with-yoshitoshi/
 
In July, The Comics Journal hit me up about covering a talk historian Ryan Holmberg and cartoonist Ronald Wimberly were doing at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The two were in my town to talk about Japanese print maker Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's bloody body of work and it's influence on manga and American comics.  I love Japanese print, blood, and a good talk on esthetics so I told the Journal is was into it. - Ben Passmore

SPX puts more panels and interviews online

SPX 2019 Panel - Intersection Between Comics and Animation

Published on Oct 3, 2019
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzo5sEMcavo

Artists have been working in the mediums of comics and animation for as long as both have existed. Recently, the divide between the two arts seems thinner than ever, especially since so much of alternative comics has influenced animation. From directors to storyboard artists and from personal projects to working for major studios, a quartet of cartoonists discuss what the transition between the two is like, how to find ways to work on personal comics while still doing commercial work, and what a cartoonist can learn from animation. Craig Frank (JFK Secret Ops), John Kenn Mortensen (Sticky Monsters), Dakota McFadzean (DreamWorks, Don't Get Eaten By Anything), and Laura Knetzger (Adventure Time, Bug Boys) talk about balancing the personal and commercial and how their skills overlap. Critic Jules Bakes (Enemies Of The State) moderates.


SPX 2019 Panel - Science Fiction and Social Justice

Published on Oct 4, 2019
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_sJfhwjz8g

Science fiction has long been used as a way to speak out against inequality, colonialism, and other injustices. Moderator and critic Kayleigh Hearn (Women Write About Comics) leads a discussion with Ezra Claytan Daniels (Bttm Fdrs, Upgrade Soul), Kevin Czap (Fütchi Perf), Iasmin Omar Ata (Mis(h)adra, Zenith) and Carla Speed McNeil (Finder) on how they address systematic oppression in their comics.


SPX 2019 Panel - Birthing Stories

Published on Oct 4, 2019
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8iMbZUVQec

There have been a number of extraordinary comics published about pregnancy and motherhood in recent years. Carol Tyler (Late Bloomer, Soldier's Heart) blazed the trail in this regard thirty years ago, and she moderates an all-star assemblage of cartoonists discussing the experience of giving birth. Lucy Knisley (Kid Gloves), Marnie Galloway (Slightly Plural), Meghan Turbitt (Laughter Birth), Lauren Weinstein (Mother's Walk), and Rachel Masilamani (We Conceive) offer a wide variety of perspectives on their own birthing stories.


SPX 2019: Katherine Blood & Martha Kennedy

SPX 2019 Panel - Libraries and Comics: Past, Present and Future Trends

Published on Oct 7, 2019
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iiGrk_00j8

Over the past twenty years, libraries and the comics industry at all levels have been working together to forge bonds that have benefited both. Comics and graphic novels have become a huge draw for libraries, who also use their resources for comics festivals and workshops. Libraries have become an essential client for publishers at all levels, emerging as a crucial part of their bottom line. Critic Chris Mautner explores the evolving nature of this relationship with Kathy Schalk-Green (of the American Library Association), Megan Halsband (from the Library of Congress), Jacq Cohen (representing Fantagraphics Books), and cartoonist Raina Telgemeier (award-winning and best-selling author of Smile, Drama, Sisters and her newest book, Guts).


SPX 2019 Panel - Graphic Advocacy

Published on Oct 6, 2019
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xu5vWjzagI

While comics are often thought of primarily as a storytelling medium, the rise of graphic journalism and graphic medicine point to a fusion of text, image, and narrative. In particular, comics with a particular mission and point of view are a powerful tool. Moderator Hallie Jay Pope leads Dan Nott (This Is What Democracy Looks Like), Archie Bongiovanni (A Quick & Easy Guide To They/Them Pronouns), Breena Nuñez (Visions From The Inside) and Matt Bors (The Nib) in a discussion of their particular projects. From advocating particular causes, to giving others a voice, to providing instruction on important issues, each cartoonist has a lot to say in their comics.


SPX 2019 Panel - Depicting Motion in Sports Comics

Published on Oct 6, 2019
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjSPuh5EsEE

Sports comics have a long and distinguished tradition, both in America and abroad. And they present a unique challenge for cartoonists: trying to find a way to depict dynamic movements in a static medium. José Quintinar (Gran Slam), AJ Dungo (In Waves), Rob Ullman (Old-Timey Hockey Tales), and Ellen Lindner (The Cranklet's Chronicle) discuss how they bring tennis, surfing, hockey, and baseball (respectively) to life. SPX Executive Director, comics historian and collector Warren Bernard moderates and offers his perspective on sports cartooning with examples of work by Willard Mullin, the pre-eminent sports cartoonist of the 20th Century.


SPX 2019: Micah Myers
