RIP, Stan Lee.
Many years ago my not-yet-wife Cathy stood in line on a rainy day at Crown Books on K St NW in DC and got a book signed for me.

Like Art Spiegelman's Maus, Krug's graphic memoir centers on events she experienced at one remove, by inheritance—and that for that reason may have marked her all the more deeply. A member of the second generation of Germans born after World War II, Krug draws on letters, photos, flea-market artifacts, and archival materials for a powerful exploration of Heimat, the place that first forms us. Now an award-winning artist and member of the faculty of the Parsons School of Design, Krug researched her grandparents' role in the Third Reich, and her sifting of layers of history is as vital a story as what she discovered. Krug will be in conversation with Washington Post "Book World" writer and editor Nora Krug.

More information lifted from JWE's newsletter:
Mohammad's show features numbered pulls of 16 of his evocative linocut images, all of which he has produced only in very limited editions. It also features a large-scale giclee (high-quality) print of his iconic "History of Palestine" mural-- the same image that won an award at the recent conference of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights.
The Nov. 17 event starts with a reception, which will be followed by a discussion between Mohammad and Robert ("Bro") Russell, the director of the NoVa-based organization Cartoonists Rights Network International, for which Mohammad serves as a key Middle East Ambassador.
Mohammad Sabaaneh, as I'm sure you know, is the Ramallah-based cartoonist who's the lead political cartoonist for the Palestinian daily Al-Hayat al-Jadida. His book White and Black: Political Cartoons from Palestine was published by Just World Books last year to much acclaim.
While he maintains a hectic output of gripping images in his daily cartoon work, Mohammad has also been intent on developing his capacities as an artist in a range of different media-- as well as sharing his signature artwork with audiences around the world.
Last November, he was one of four high-achieving Palestinians from around the world who were brought to New York by the UN's Committee for the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People" to be honored in a ceremony at UN Headquarters that marked the 70th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.
All the works being hung in the Jerusalem Fund Gallery's exhibition will be available for sale. The proceeds will be divided between the Palestine Center's humanitarian projects in Palestine, Just World Ed's educational projects here in North America, and the artist himself.
At the Nov. 17 event, the de-luxe new hardcover edition of White and Black will be debuted, and smaller giclee prints of some of the images in it will also be available.
The exhibition, titled "Linocuts and History from Palestine" will continue until December 15, culminating in a fun, exciting live auction of any works remaining unsold.
