East Storefront A (outside corner)An evening of cartoonist art from Taiwan with Fantom Comics
As part of Fantom Comics’ Taiwan Comics Showcase, the Library will host five guest artists for a cartoonist talk at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. This is a unique behind-the-scenes exploration of Taiwan’s burgeoning comics scene, featuring perhaps the largest group of Taiwanese cartoonists ever to visit the United States:
• Monday Recover
• A ee mi
• Crystal Kung
• Ding Pao-Yen
• Rio
These artists represent a wide range of genres and art styles. They will be interviewed by panel moderator Feixue Mei, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at James Madison University and the founder of Boundless Bound Publishing. She will also give a short presentation of her current research examining female-oriented Chinese fantasy webcomics and the ways traditional visual languages are reconfigured through digital-first and mobile storytelling formats.
Fantom will be selling comics by all five artists at this event, so you can get them signed by the artists!
