David Miller's Kickstarter Relaunched - Remastered Edition - The Writer's Block 2006

Remastered Edition - The Writer's Block 2006

A new way to read a comic book story with the talents of Peter David, Gail Simone and Fabian Nicieza. It's like a comic book game show.

Story

Do you think that there's only one way to read a comic story? Think again when three  of the comic's industry finest talents come together in "THE WRITER'S BLOCK, 2006 Remastered Edition." In this title, comic's greats Peter David (The Incredible Hulk, Spider-man, Star Trek), Gail Simone (Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman, X-men) and Fabian Nicieza (The New Warriors, X-Men, Valiant), are given the same chapter of comic art to script without knowing anything about a plot or being allowed to speak to one another. The authors let their muses take them (and you) on a unique comics reading experience you won't find anywhere else! Each chapter is accompanied by an interview with the author to discuss how they approached this exercise in comics writing in particular and writing in general. Unlike "how to" books that talk about how to write comics, The Writer's Block shows how masters of the art form write comics. It's like a comic book gameshow where everyone wins!

July 16: Gareth Hinds - Fairfax Library


Meet Graphic Novel Author and Artist Gareth Hinds

Gareth Hinds is the creator of critically-acclaimed graphic novels based on literary classics, including Beowulf (which Publisher's Weekly called a "mixed-media gem"), King Lear (which Booklist named one of the top 10 graphic novels for teens), and many more! He is a recipient of the Boston Public Library's "Literary Lights for Children" award. His books can be found in bookstores and English classrooms across the country, and his illustrations have appeared in such diverse venues as the Society of Illustrators, the New York Historical Society, and over a dozen published video games.

Gareth will talk about his work and describe how he got to be a graphic novelist and what it's like being one. See examples of his work, all the way from early childhood up to in-progress, not-yet-published books, and then he'll take some questions from the audience!
