Chris Ware and Jules Feiffer:
The Not-So-Funny Situation of Alternative Comix
If print is dead, wither alt. comix? We are likely living in the golden age of graphic novels and alternative comics, but the artists themselves are facing what may be the most significant crisis in the medium’s history: the evaporation of virtually all of their outlets as alternative newsweeklies and comix publishers cease publishing their work in the midst of their own financial calamity. The Chicago Reader’s Michael Miner hosts a summit meeting with Jules Feiffer and Chris Ware to examine the crisis and sift for solutions.
Saturday, Nov. 7; 4:30 pm, Francis W. Parker School, 2233 N Clark Street, Chicago, IL
60614. Tickets $5 in advance, $10 at the door. Free for students and educators.
