Scott McCloud at Comica ‘09

Posted: November 12, 2009

Comics guru Scott McCloud was the surprise guest (pictured above with Paul Gravett and Woodrow Phoenix) at the Ctrl.Alt.Shift: Music & Comics Night on Tuesday at the ICA. Sarah McIntyre reports the details on her blog (scroll down for more pictures after the exciting news about the DFC collections):

“Scott McCloud! If you’re at all into comics, you will know him as the author of what have been come to be seen as the most definitive comics handbooks written so far, and created in comics format, Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics and Making Comics. Scott said he’d flown to London from L.A. just to do a talk the next day at the Skype headquarters (whom, ironically, are known for their video conferencing). He’s currently working on a huge 400+ page graphic novel and says the book will come out in a couple years if he manages to do a page every two days.”

...and Fredrik Stomberg reports on Comica ‘09 here, here, here and here.
