Description

“Comics” is finally coming of age as an artistic and literary form. Now this once-maligned medium of expression is poised for new opportunities, thanks to a mutating media environment and a potential revolution in visual education. Author and comics artist Scott McCloud shines a light on these and other fascinating trends—and demonstrates why every visual choice we make matters—in a fast-moving cascade of images and ideas.

Scott McCloud is an American cartoonist and comics theorist. He is best known for his non-fiction books about comics, Understanding Comics (1993), Reinventing Comics (2000), and Making Comics (2006). And he is the cartoonist/writer behind Zot (1984-1990) and The Sculptor (2015).

Vault of Midnight will provide books for sale at this event.

This event is in partnership with the University of Michigan ArtsEngine, the University of Michigan Library, the Duderstadt Center, and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. Additional public events with Scott McCloud will be taking place Tuesday, November 6, 2018 at the Duderstadt Center on North Campus.
