The event, organized by us at Rackham to mark 25 (or rather 26) years in comics is a symposium at the highest level, a forum in which to debate with peers and all comers the state of the art fomr of comics. The event is organized around a number of lectures, interviews and a roundtable to get at the pressing questions of where comics once were. where they are today and where they’re headed.

Other participants include Gary Groth, the co-founder and -publisher of Fantagraphics, Dan Nadel of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Benoît Mouchart of Casterman, and Xavier Guilert of du9.org. More will be announced in the coming weeks!

I can’t overstate how excited I am about this event, which I very much hope you will consider attending. Get your tickets here — they won’t be available for long!

For those of you who understand Danish, we recorded a short podcast episode introducing the event and providing a look behind the scenes.
