Friday, June 6, 2008, Cantor Film Center at NYU , 36 East 8 Street
Over the past few years comics have escaped from the shtetl and entered
the salon. A Big Bang has exploded
the assumption that the medium is inherently immature, and comics have
hurtled into the worlds of bok publishing
(as literature for adults and children), contemporary art, the academy
and literary criticism.
This one-day program will spotlight major creators of and commentators
on comics, highlighting key
trends and debates facing comics in this new, “post-bang”
environment.
