Panels + Workshops:

Saturday, September 9th at 12:00 pm in the White Oak Room, Horror Of The Everyday : Sometimes, the most effective horror stories aren't about jump scares and blood. Sometimes, they spring out of mundane and everyday situations, slowly turning reality into something terrifying. Be it a dog that slowly takes over someone's life, demons silently interfering with a couple, or a woman's desperate need for motherhood driving her to terrifying extremes, the horror of the everyday is often the most terrifying because it feels so familiar. Join moderator Dr. Rachel S. Miller along with panelists Nicole Goux (Pet Peeves), Julia Gfrörer (Too Dark To See, Vision), Beth Hetland (Tender), and King Ray (Phonestoned) as they explore their own takes on horror.

Saturday, September 9th at 2:00 pm in the White Oak Room, Spotlight on Bill Griffith and Three Rocks: The Story Of Ernie Bushmiller: Bill Griffith is a legend of the underground comics era, co-editing Arcade and syndicated his surreal Zippy The Pinhead strip for nearly fifty years. His new book, Three Rocks: The Story Of Ernie Bushmiller, is his latest graphic novel, detailing the creator of Nancy's life and the influence that strip had on him. He'll be joined in conversation by writer, historian, and critic Paul Gravett, made immortal as "The Man At The Crossroads" by Eddie Campbell.

Saturday, September 9th at 3:30 pm in the White Flint Amphitheater, History On The Ground: Personal Accounts: When history books are written, they rarely take into account how momentous events affect individuals. Eleri Mai Harris (The Nib) will discuss how larger historical events informed the personal stories told by the panelists. Join Ana Penyas (We're All Just Fine), Derf (Kent State), Tracy White (Unaccompanied), and Michael Cherkas (Red Harvest) as they reveal personal and unexamined perspectives on history.

Saturday, September 9th at 5:00 pm in the White Oak Room, Carousel: Comics Performances: Since 1997, R. Sikoryak has hosted Carousel, a series of comics readings and visual performances by cartoonists and theater artists, presented around the U.S. and Canada. This special edition of Carousel at SPX features exhibiting artists and guests, performing live. Join us for an audio-visual journey to the place where comics and performance collide! Featuring: Lawrence Lindell (Blackward), Breena Nuñez (The Nib, The New Yorker), Jonathan Baylis (So Buttons), Robyn Smith (Wash Day Diaries), Kayla E. (Precious Rubbish). and R. Sikoryak (Constitution Illustrated).

Saturday, September 9th at 6:00 pm in the White Oak Room, New Approaches to Nonfiction: Pushing the Form: This panel will focus on creators using innovative approaches to the form in their nonfiction comics. Working on topics ranging from history, journalism, graphic medicine and neuroscience, cartoonists will discuss how nonfiction comics can explore the most exciting possibilities of the form. Moderator Dr. Francesca Lyn will join Dan Nott (Hidden Systems), Whit Taylor (The Greater Good), Box Brown (Tetris, Cannabis), and Briana Loewinsohn (Ephemera: A Memoir) as they discuss their approaches to nonfiction narratives.

Sunday, September 10th at 1:00 pm in the Glen Echo Room, Resiliency Narratives With Natalie Norris: In this workshop we gather to learn techniques for approaching memoir stories that we find difficult to tell but feel compelled to share. We'll focus on the resiliency that grows out of personal stories about adversity, illness, and survival and how you can harness your strength to face these kinds of memoirs. This workshop will include discussion and a drawing activity. All skill levels are welcome, drawing materials will be provided. Sign up here!

Sunday, September 10th at 1:30 pm in the White Oak Room, Subgenres Of Memoir: Memoir comics have expanded from simply depicting personal narratives to dipping into the tropes of other genres. Paul Gravett moderates a panel of memoirists whose work spills over into different storytelling styles. The artists are Eddie Campbell (the meta-memoir The Second Fake Death Of Eddie Campbell), MariNaomi (the mystery-memoir I Thought You Loved Me), Elizabeth Trembley (the multiple points of view narrative Look Again), and Kayla E. (the reclaimed-image memoir Precious Rubbish).

Sunday, September 10th at 4:00 pm in the White Flint Amphitheater, Immersive Worlds: Complex Depictions Of Environments: There are cartoonists who pay as much or even more attention to depictions of the worlds they create as they do to their characters. For some, it's even more important. Whether it's densely-inked backgrounds or vivid colors dominating each panel, a complex environment tells its own story. Moderator Rob Clough joins Wren McDonald (Cyber Realm), Rosemary Valero-O'Connell (Don't Go Without Me), K. Wroten (Eden II), and Daria Tessler (Salome's Last Dance) as they discuss their immersive worlds.

Don't miss the Married to Comics Premiere with Carol Tyler, John Kinhart, and Gary Groth at the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center on September 8th at 7:00 pm!

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.

Following the screening, there will be a conversation between Carol Tyler, John Kinhart and our own Gary Groth–details here!

Holy crap, but Monseiur Macron and Le Uncle Sam sure have taken a

chased out of Niger, one of Obama's old buds being bounced out of
Gabon, ex-French colonies all over Africa ditching the CFA Franc like
it was radioactive... I can't pretend I'm not enjoying the former
French Africa rolling out the guillotines for Macron, I'll tell ya'

Author Talk - Jillian and Mariko Tamaki's "Roaming" [September 7 2023]

Melissa Scholes Young

DC Public Library September 7 2023

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRKHgMwKc-4

Join the Library and Loyalty Bookstores for the debut of the brand new graphic novel by Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki. In conversation with American University's Melissa Scholes Young, the two Caldecot Award winning writers and authors will discuss their newest work. Over the course of a much-anticipated trip to New York, an unexpected fling blossoms between casual acquaintances and throws a long-term friendship off-balance. Emotional tensions vibrate wildly against the resplendently illustrated backdrop of the city, capturing a spontaneous queer romance in all of its fledgling glory. Slick attention to the details of a bustling, intimidating metropolis are softened with a palette of muted pastels, as though seen through the eyes of first-time travelers. The awe, wonder, and occasional stumble along the way all come to life with stunning accuracy in this sumptuous softcover with gorgeous jacket. Roaming is the third collaboration from the critically acclaimed team behind Skim and Governor General's Literary Award winner This One Summer. Moody, atmospheric, and teeming with life, the magic of this comics duo leaks through the pages with lush and exquisite pen work. The Tamakis' singular, elegant vision of an urban paradise slowly revealing its imperfections to the tune of its visitors' rhythms is a masterpiece–a future classic for generations to come.
