While in New York for the New Yorker Festival in October, I had the pleasure of visiting Brooklyn’s Desert Island Comics, a treasure-house of independent and mainstream comics, and meeting its knowledgeable and friendly owner, Gabriel Fowler.
It now gives me great pleasure to announce on Emdashes a festival sponsored by Desert Island Comics and the local publisher PictureBox:
The Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival!
It will take place on Saturday, December 5, 2009 between 11 AM - 7 PM.
The venue will be:
Our Lady of Consolation Church
184 Metropolitan Ave.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Admission is free!
Cartoonists, illustrators, designers, and printmakers will all be gathering at The Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival to bring you:
*A bustling marketplace in which over 50 exhibitors will be selling their zines, comics, books, prints and posters
*Book signings
*Panel discussions and lectures by prominent artists
*Exhibition of vintage comic book artwork
*An evening of musical performances
