September 22: Comics Undergroud, A Live Comics Reading @ Jack London Bar | FREE, Writers Greg Rucka & Kelly Sue DeConnick
From our sponsors at Jack London Bar:
Comics Underground: A Live Comics Reading
Thursday, September 22
8 p.m. | FREE | 21+
@ Jack London Bar, 529 SW Fourth Ave.
Facebook event
Essentially, Comics Underground is a staged reading, only the performers will be reading dialogue from their own comics, with images projected above them. Performers provide their own soundtracks, sound effects, live music-whatever they want, really. It’s in a bar, it’s pretty informal, and the last one featured extemporaneous guitar accompaniment AND broken-window sound effects courtesy of a bottle scrounged from behind the bar.
Here’s a bit more info on the participants:
¬Â¢ Writer Jamie S Rich and artists Joelle Jones and Nico Hitori collaborate on the Oni Press-released mean-teen-witch comic SPELLCHECKERS; they’ll be reading from the new volume, and Rich will also present some autobiographical work.
¬Â¢ Writer Kelly Sue DeConnick has worked on a number of Marvel Comics titles, including the well-received OSBORN: EVIL INCARCERATED miniseries-she’ll be presenting a comic from a recent anthology about New York venue CBGB, published by Boom! Studios.
¬Â¢ Artist Natalie Nourigat is a member of Periscope Studio and creator of BETWEEN GEARS and OVER THE SURFACE. She’ll be reading some original autobiographical comics.
¬Â¢ Greg Rucka has written STUMPTOWN, WHITEOUT, QUEEN & COUNTRY, THE PUNISHER, and much more-as of right this moment, he hasn’t decided yet what he’ll be reading, but we’re pretty sure he’ll pull together something great.
