Free Talk: The Graphic Design of Comic Books


Come see award winning comic book-style illustrator Arlen Schumer present an overview and retrospective of his works.

Comic Book Artist magazine named Arlen, "one of the more articulate and enthusiastic advocates of comic book art in America." Based in New York, he lectures at universities and cultural institutions across the country.
