I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together: A Memoir (Pantheon Graphic Library) By Maurice Vellekoop Cover Image
$35.00
ISBN: 9780307908735
Availability: Coming Soon—Pre-Order Now
Published: Pantheon - February 27th, 2024

Meet little Maurice Vellekoop, the youngest of four children raised by Dutch immigrants in the 1970s in a blue-collar suburb of Toronto. Despite their working-class milieu, the Vellekoops are devoted to art, music, and film, and they instill a deep reverence for the arts in young Maurice--except for literature. He'd much rather watch Cher and Carol Burnett on TV than read a book. He also loves playing with his girlfriends' Barbie dolls and helping his Mum in her hair salon, which she runs out of the basement of their house. In short, he is really, really gay. Which is a huge problem, because the family is part of the Christian Reformed Church, a strict Calvinist sect. They go to church twice on Sunday, and they send their kids to a private Christian school, catechism classes, and the Calvinist Cadet Corps. Needless to say, the church is intolerant of homosexuality. Though she loves her son deeply, Maurice's mother, Ann, cannot accept him, setting the course for a long estrangement.

Vellekoop struggles through all of this until he graduates from high school and is accepted into the Ontario College of Art in the early 1980s. Here he finds a welcoming community of bohemians, including a brilliant, flamboyantly gay professor who encourages him to come out. But just as he's dipping his toes into the waters of gay sex and love, a series of romantic disasters, followed by a violent attack, sets him back severely. And then the shadow of the AIDS era descends. Maurice reacts by retreating to the safety of childhood obsessions, and seeks to satisfy his emotional needs with film- and theatre-going, music, boozy self-medication, and prolific art-making. When these tactics inevitably fail, Vellekoop at last embarks on a journey towards his heart's true desire. In psychotherapy, the spiderweb of family, faith, guilt, sexuality, mental health, the intergenerational fallout of World War II, King Ludwig II of Bavaria, French Formula Hairspray, and much more at last begins to untangle. But it's going to be a long, messy, and occasionally hilarious process.

I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together is an enthralling portrait of what it means to be true to yourself, to learn to forgive, and to be an artist.

Maurice Vellekoop was born in 1964 in a suburb of Toronto. A prolific artist and illustrator, he has worked non-stop for the last three decades. In addition to publications, his corporate clients include Swissair, Abercrombie & Fitch, Air Canada, Smart Car, LVMH, and Bush Irish Whiskey. He lives on Toronto Island with his partner Gordon Bowness.

Vellekoop will be in conversation with Chip Kidd, a writer and graphic designer in New York City. As Editor-At-Large for graphic novels at Pantheon books, he has published some of the world's best cartoonists, including Chris Ware, Charles Burns, David Mazzucchelli, Gengoroh Tagame, Michael Cho, Anita Kunz and Anders Nilsen. He has authored over a dozen books of his own, including the novels The Cheese Monkeys and The Learners, and a Batman graphic novel called Death By Design. He is currently writing a graphic novel for Marvel.

This event is free with first come, first served seating.

ABOUT THE BOOK: 

Set in the Joseon Dynasty, where women are bounded to strict expectations of behavior, Kai is a force to be reckoned with. Surpassing her father, a prominent general in martial arts, she is focused more on her fighting abilities than pursuit of a husband. However, a strange transformation reignites the demons of her parents' past, compelling Kai to reconcile her identity or else face a future condemned to isolation. This queer, feminist reimagining of the classic Korean folktale of the nine-tailed fox is brought to life in a powerfully illustrated graphic format that highlight the turmoil of a young girl fighting to defy her fate. 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:  

Robin Ha is an award-winning author, illustrator and comic artist. Her graphic novel memoir Almost American Girl was a Harvey Award nominee. Her comics and illustrations have appeared in various publications, including the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. She is also the author of the best-selling comic recipe book Cook Korean: A Comic Book with Recipes.

Baltimore's Lucky Pocket Press Kickstarter - KNAPSACK MAGAZINE: VOLUME 1

Knapsack Magazine, Volume 1: Cassette

A brand new anthology series of comics & illustrations encompassing our collective weird-kid nostalgia, by Lucky Pocket Press!


Welcome to KNAPSACK MAGAZINE: a comics and illustration anthology from Lucky Pocket Press, featuring over 200 pages of comics, illustration, and words from 21 different artists! 

Featuring work from:

Amanda Castillo SunmiTheo StultzReetzInderPa LuisNichole ShinnMogumuKelly Ficarra Janet SungGica TamBOXERBUN Em AllenDiansakhu Banton-PerryChelsea AkpanBillie SnippetAngie HewittAlly GonzalezLyle Lynde

Knapsack Magazine is a comics anthology that is a love letter to our collective weird kid nostalgia. Comics have been ever present through our lives, and with Knapsack Magazine we wanted to emulate our love for serialized manga publications like Shojo Beat and Shonen Jump, popularized in North America during the 90's and early 2000's. Knapsack is meant to fit snugly in your Jansport backpack, holding precious things, ready to be a friend on your way back from school. With this anthology, we hope to evoke the nostalgia and excitement of picking up a new manga after school and being swept away into an entirely new world.

Knapsack will be offset printed at 210mm x 270mm on newsprint-like paper, to evoke the style of manga printing, in dark pink and aqua blue inks. Each comic is printed in one color, alternating throughout the volume. Illustrations and articles are two colors, with a style emulating risograph color layering.

Previews of just a few of this volume's illustration pages!

Knapsack Magazine is intended to be a serialized magazine with several of our stories continuing over the course of several volumes, each with a different theme derived from each volume's title word!
