I’m getting ready to head off to the San Diego Comic Con, mother of all comic cons, god help me.Definitions-and-cast-of-characters.html star-traveler-scouts-1.html star-traveler-scouts-2.html star-traveler-scouts-3.html Here’s a good article about it in yesterday’s SD Tribune, framing the current moment in comics as a battle of “edge vs. respectability.” It also quotes Doug Wolk a lot, a smart comics critic who just wrote a new book called Reading Comics. I haven’t read it yet but maybe I’ll get it in San Diego. If by any chance you’ll be attending this wild rumpus and you need respite from all the people dressed as wookies and corpse brides, here’s my schedule:ģ:30-4:30, “Spotlight on Alison Bechdel.” This’ll just be me talking about my work. In room 1ABĥpm, signing at the Prism Comics booth, #2148. Prism is a gay comics organization and they have all kinds of stuff they’re doing at the Con too. The Eisner Awards, a big comics industry awards ceremony, will be held Friday night. Fun Home is nominated in the three categories below. It’s some pretty frickin’ stiff competition.
