American Vernacular: Chicago and the Birth of the Comic
- 60654 5y agoVery cool to hear that Chris Ware is co-curating this, he's a legendary comic book artist [1], so I'm sure this is going to be eye opening. Can't wait to see it! [1] https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/chris-ware https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/chris-ware
- lapetitejort 5y agoAs a side note, I highly recommend people ready comics. If you're scared of superheroes, check out creator-owned titles, mainly published by Image. If you're American and have a library card, you may be eligible to sign up for Hoopla [0], where you can check out four items a month. Seemingly the entire Image backlog is available on Hoopla as trade paperbacks. You'll find plenty of finished series by well known and up-and-coming writers and artists. Marvel, DC, and other publishers release titles as well, although there are plenty of holes. Some titles I've read recently: * The Wicked + The Divide * Paper Girls * Invincible My only complaint is that four trade paperbacks read fast, and I'm left waiting for the rest of the month!
