Phillip Kennedy Johnson to write the Hulk

The Age of Monsters begins in new INCREDIBLE HULK title from Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein

This June the Jade Giant takes on Marvel's most gruesome monsters!

March 11: Fantom Comics' GODFELL #1 BOOK CLUB with editor Raven

GODFELL #1 BOOK CLUB

>> SATURDAY, MARCH 11th @ 2PM!

To celebrate the comic editing debut of Fantom's own Raven we're hosting an in-person book club for the first issue of GODFELL!

One sunny day in the land of Kerethim, God falls dead from the sky. The impact sends out shockwaves that draw in royal families at war, shadowy creatures of the dark, and armies of the dispossessed, all coming to lay claim to parts of God's body. Into this power struggle wanders Zanzi Vuiline, a soldier and berserker trying to get home from a years-long war. Forced to fight her way through the strange landscapes in and on God's corpse, from the soles of its feet through the top of its head, Zanzi will acquire a mysterious traveling companion on her own pilgrimage.

The first issue is NOW IN STORE!
Get it in-person or online: https://stores.comichub.com/fantom_comics/products/godynamic-forcesll-1-cover-a-hennessy-farrell

Do you have any burning questions for the creative team? Submit your questions here for a chance to get your questions answered: https://forms.gle/jhZZtG3XtP9cAXD47

Answers to the questions will be available during the book club itself!

Due to the nature of this event being in-person in our small space we ask that customers wear their masks.

Ann Telnaes wins Herblock award, Ramirez is finalist

Wednesday, March 8, 2023

Silver Tiffany Trophy

To commemorate Herb Block's legacy, the Foundation awards the annual Herblock Prize for excellence in editorial cartooning. The Foundation created the Herblock Prize in 2004 to encourage editorial cartooning as an essential tool for preserving the rights of the American people through freedom of speech and the right of expression. Presented each spring at the Library of Congress, the prize is awarded by The Herb Block Foundation for distinguished examples of editorial cartooning that exemplify the courageous standard set by Herblock and is judged by a panel of outside experts.

Although the judges for the Herblock Prize always had a finalist chosen for the award, the finalist was not announced until the year 2011. The finalist in 2011 was Ann Telnaes for her portfolio of animated editorial cartoons. In 2012, The Herb Block Foundation announced that past, present, and future finalists of the Herblock Prize would receive a $5,000 after-tax award.

The winner receives a tax free $15,000 cash prize as well as a sterling silver Tiffany trophy.

As of May 2022, the Herblock Prize winner will now receive a tax free $20,000 cash award and the finalist will receive tax free $7,500 cash award.

 

Winners and finalists include:

Arlington Reads Launches New Author Series, 'Get Graphic'

Published on March 06, 2023

https://www.arlingtonva.us/About-Arlington/Newsroom/Articles/2023/Arlington-Reads-Launches-New-Author-Series-Get-Graphic

GetGraphic_wordlogo_1200x675.jpg

Arlington Public Library's long-running signature author talk program Arlington Reads turns the page to the next chapter with "Get Graphic."

The year-long series features a diverse lineup of five award-winning and New York Times bestselling graphic novel authors: Alison Bechdel (Mar. 9), Jerry Craft (Apr. 27), Gene Luen Yang (May 4), Art Spiegelman (Sep. 21) and Liana Finck (Oct. 19).

"The program brings together people to talk about books and the important topics of our time," said Library Director Diane Kresh.

These authors focus on a character's experiences intersected with social commentary, history, identity and self-discovery, using the graphic novel format to challenge our societal norms and invite us to discover uncomfortable truths and new ways of seeing. 

Spring Lineup

Alison Bechdel Thursday, March 9, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.

Library Director Diane Kresh will lead a conversation with Alison Bechdel, author of "Fun Home." Bechdel will share insights about her long career as an American cartoonist.

In Bechdel's autobiography, the author and cartoonist combines two genres — comics and memoir — to illustrate a lush and intimate story about a daughter trying to understand her father through the common and unspoken bond of their homosexuality. 

Arlington Reads attendees (virtual and in-person) will have the chance to win a free pair of tickets, courtesy of Studio Theatre, to attend a live performance of the musical adaptation of Fun Home later this year.

Jerry Craft - Thursday, April 27, 6 - 8 p.m.

Library Division Chief Peter Petruski will interview Jerry Craft and discuss his graphic novel "New Kid" which tells the story of a young black child who tries to fit in at a new private school that is lacking in diversity. Craft's heartbreakingly accurate middle-grade tale is a coming-of-age story layered with race, class and the quest for self-identity.

Gene Luen Yang - Thursday, May 4, 6 - 8 p.m.

Librarian Jennifer Santure will interview Gene Luen Yang. Yang takes on prejudices toward Asian Americans in his action-packed, modern fable "American Born Chinese," which tells the story of Jin Wang who moves to a new neighborhood with his family only to discover that he is the only Chinese-American student at his new school. "American Born Chinese" was adapted into a Disney+ show, scheduled for release this year.

Fall Lineup

"Get Graphic" continues in September as it invites audiences to better understand the horrors of the Holocaust, survival and to re-imagine the world from a women's perspective.

Art Spiegelman – Thursday, Sep. 21, 2023

In "Maus," world-renowned illustrator and graphic novelist Art Spiegelman interviews his father about his chilling experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor drawing Jews as wide-eyed mice and Nazis as menacing cats. Spiegelman blends the stories of the author's trying relationship with his aging father and a horrifying tale of Auschwitz, as seen through his father's eyes. An astonishing account of one of history's most unspeakable tragedies and a story of survival and the legacy of trauma. 

Liana Finck – Thursday, Oct. 19

Liana Finck's graphic novel "Let There Be Light" is both a work of biblical interpretation in comic book format and reimagines the world from a woman's perspective. Finck retells the Book of Genesis starring a woman as God and proves that old stories can live forever, whether as ancient scripture or as a series of profound and enchanting cartoons looking for humanity.

For all programs, Graphic Novels will be available for purchase during the event, courtesy of One More Page Books. The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. The free events will be livestreamed and available as a recording for 30 days on Arlington County's YouTube channel; RSVP to receive the online link. 

Since its inception in 2006, Arlington Reads has featured both national and international fiction and nonfiction authors and cultural icons, such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Wendell Berry, Katherine Boo, Matthew Desmond, Anthony Doerr, Richard Ford, Roxane Gay, Colum McCann, Tim O'Brien, Ann Patchett, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Elizabeth Strout, Zadie Smith and Colson Whitehead.

Arlington Reads is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Arlington Public Library.
