Graphic novelist Brent Anderson will be at our Graphic Novel Open House this coming Saturday, March 7th, 11 AM - 3 PM at the Round Valley Branch Library. He'll be chatting with attendees and workshopping with kids on how to create a comic character and put together a short comic strip. Brent is best known for co-creating the acclaimed series Astro City with Kurt Busiek and illustrating the seminal X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills graphic novel. His career spans from underground comix to major work for Marvel and DC Comics.
Kids, grown-ups, families: we hope to see you all, this Saturday, March 7th, at the library and in the community room, for our first ever Graphic Novel Open House. We have lots of fun planned for you. Young artists, bring samples of your artwork to show to Brent Anderson, our visiting comic artist. Costumes welcome — if you have a favorite character, feel free to dress up!
