Oh my gosh, the birth month of Comix Experience (we’re 32 years old as of April 1st, 2021!) is probably the best single month of our Graphic Novel Clubs ever (and that’s saying a lot!)
At the front of the pack is one of the most amazing Graphic Novels you are ever going to read: Barry Windsor-Smith’s MONSTERS from Fantagraphics is the lead book for our ADULT CLUB — there really are not enough superlatives for this work, and we’re absolutely beside ourselves to be the sole livestreamed video interview Mr. Windsor-Smith will be conducting for this incredible book, and which you will be able to watch on Sunday Morning 4/18 at 10am PST at https://youtu.be/yY6HwW1bQYE. We will update this post once the book actually arrives in a few days with a link you can buy the book from.
The KIDS CLUB pick is an astonishingly lovely piece from the Chinese author Nie Jun which shows us just how well great comics transcend National borders — you are going to adore SEEKERS OF THE AWETO: THE HUNT IS ON, which you could buy a copy by clicking this link. Sadly Nie Jun is not available to do interviews, so you’ll have to live with the book itself, but it is stellar.
And to complete the trifecta, the COMICS MASTERPIECES CLUB couldn’t be prouder to bring you that seminal building block of SANDMAN: PRELUDES AND NOCTURNES (buy a copy by Clicking this link!) by Neil Gaiman. We could not possibly to bring you a livestreamed conversation about the origins of SANDMAN with Neil, Himself, along with Vertigo editor Karen Berger and former DC publisher Paul Levitz. This should be an incredible conversation, and we’re having it Monday, April 19th at 6p PST — you can watch at https://youtu.be/eY7BSfJczvU
