City Club of Portland focuses on comics this Thursday

Colleen Coover, creator of Banana Sunday for Oni Press, will join Brett Warnock of Top Shelf Comics and Diana Schutz of Dark Horse Comics for a roundtable discussion about the emergence of graphic novels and comics at the City Club of Portland this Thursday.

Over the past several years, comic books have emerged as a more culturally significant literary form. Combining visual and literary arts, comic book forms have been devoted to serious subjects (e.g., the Holocaust, Sarajevo), and graphic novels have attracted a wide and admiring readership. Portland has been a gathering place for many professional and aspiring artists working in this field.
