Sept 12: Box Brown at Library of Congress

Serial and Government Publications Division presents:

How to Make Comics Every Day and Still Be Alive

Join us to hear Box Brown discuss his publishing imprint Retrofit Comics, how running it helps him as a cartoonist, how he created his recent graphic novel "Andre the Giant: Life and Legend," and how illustrating is related to cartooning at the third annual Small Press Expo (SPX) talk sponsored by the Serial & Government Publications Division. Brown's comics have been featured in Mad Magazine and his illustrations have been on Wired.com. His web and print comic Everything Dies was named a notable comic of 2011 in the Best American Comics Anthology and was honored with two Ignatz Awards. There will also be a display of Retrofit Comics from the Division's SPX Collection.
