About the Brooklyn Book Festival:

On Sunday, September 23, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., a record 280+ top national and international authors and participants will join bibliophiles, booksellers and literary organizations on 14 stages at Brooklyn Borough Hall (209 Joralemon Street) and Plaza, Columbus Park, St. Francis College, Brooklyn Heights Public Library, Brooklyn Law School, the Brooklyn Historical Society and St. Ann & The Holy Trinity Church for the seventh annual Brooklyn Book Festival. The Festival is supported by AT&T, which is providing an exciting new app to help guide Festival-goers (details to be announced shortly!).

Comics and Graphic Novel Programming has more than doubled in 2012, with major headliners like the Hernandez Bros and recent LA Times Book Prize award-winner Carla Speed McNeil. The Festival’s unique programming approach integrates comics artists on panels with authors and journalists, recognizing and advocating for comics as literature that crosses genres. These pairings offer fresh takes from the usual con fare--and give readers of traditional prose insight into the appeal and power of graphic narratives. In addition, fans will also have a full-day of panels just focused on comics to choose from. There’s something for everyone--from Comics Quick Draw on the Youth Stoop to the all-star cartoonist line-up in Worlds Built Over Time in the St. Francis auditorium. See full listings attached.

 

All Festival events on Sunday, September 23, are free and—for the first time this year—there will be “Clix not Tix,” meaning no more tickets or ticket lines. Additionally, for the first time ever, the expanded “Bookend” literary-themed events comprise a full week of more than 50 happenings at venues that include clubs, bookstores, theaters and libraries across the borough from September 17 – 23. Most Bookend Events are free (a few charge a modest admission). Comics Book End events include a celebration of the landmark Graphic Canon publication; Adrian Tomine’s gallery opening for New York Stories; a live comics reading with favorites like Michael Kupperman and Julia Wertz, and a Comics Rock event with the Hernandez Bros at The Rock Shop. See full listings attached.

 

The Brooklyn Book Festival, one of the premier literary events in the country, is an initiative of Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz presented by Brooklyn Tourism and the Brooklyn Literary Council. This hip, smart, diverse—and free—gathering attracts thousands of book lovers of all ages to enjoy authors and the Festival’s lively literary marketplace.

 

“With an entire week of literary events celebrating the written and spoken word, the seventh annual Brooklyn Book Festival will be bigger and better than ever,” said Johnny Temple, chair of the Brooklyn Literary Council. “The Festival has matured into one of the world’s premier literary destinations, attracting renowned authors, publishers of all sizes, musicians, humorists, graphic novelists, and all of the creative forces that make up our eclectic and constantly evolving literary universe.”

 

The 2012 Brooklyn Book Festival is presented by Brooklyn Tourism and the Brooklyn Literary Council, initiatives of Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and is proudly supported by AT&T.

A Q&A with Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan about DEMO Volume 2

Fri, 03/25/2011 - 9:00am | DCE Editorial

DEMO Volume 2 is a compelling collection of 6 short stories, by writer Brian Wood and artist Becky Cloonan, about conflicted teens grappling with love, loss and the joy of finding their way in life while dealing with their unexpected super-powers.

demo_v2_600x9001

In the spirit of the stories in DEMO Volume 2, we’ve asked Brian and Becky a few questions.

In one story a man tries to keep his eating habits secret from his date, do you have any secret food habits or a favorite meal you care to share?

Brian Wood: I got asked recently about what my favorite last meal would be, and you always hear how people want the simplest things, the basic comfort foods. No one's a food snob in a situation like that. I'd probably want a peanut butter sandwich with Cheetos laid inside, or whatever I loved dearly as a kid.

Becky Cloonan: This is weird, but I'd ask for the same thing as Brian-maybe that's why we work so well together! It's that little bit of added crunch in the middle of a pb&j that really makes it something special. I still make one of these every now and again.

If you could go back in time would you?

BW: Absolutely. I just did my 20th high school reunion. I want to go back in time and mess with all their heads.

BC: No way, that's way too much power. I'd turn into a super-villain. Also, there would be continuity issues.

Sticky notes are an obsession in one story, to say the least, what’s your biggest obsession?

BW: Sometimes my entire life feels like a bunch of obsessions! One thing that Demo has benefited from, though, and in turn has helped me as a person, is to embrace the little bit of OCD I do have, and roll with it.

BC: It's hard to say if drawing is an obsessive behavior for me, or if it's just a habit by now. If I have a bad art day, I feel totally worthless and won't feel better until I draw something I'm pleased with (which I think is true of most artists). One thing I am fussy about though is clean pillow cases. If I could, I would have new ones every night; as it is I have way too many so I can change them as often as possible.

If you could have any extraordinary power what would it be?

BW: Foresight, probably. Looking ahead to see how a given course of action would work out. Granted, it would make my life boring as hell, I suppose, but I tend to think that, eventually, any extraordinary power results in profound boredom. Maybe I should write a series about that... the ugly truth behind it all, like a documentary.

BC: I think the most useful power would be teleporting. I'd save so much time and money, and conventions would be so much less of a pain if I could just materialize in the hotel lobby. If I could teleport, my schedule tomorrow would be São Paulo for coffee, LA for dinner, and the UK for drinks- then I'd be home in time to play Dragon Age before bed.

Where did you grow up and was it your inspiration for the setting/look of Underwater Breather?

BW: One of the great things about knowing a bit of the personal history of your collaborators is being able to tailor certain parts of stories to match. Becky and I both come from rural/suburban New England, and I know that when I described that sort of low rent/low expectations summer camping sites, she would get it. They are ubiquitous around all the minor lakes we have up there.

BC: It was really easy to pull from my memories and make that story real- it's like they say, draw what you know- and it's always those stories that I think have the most impact. While I was working on that issue, I remembered things like what the air was like, the smells and sounds from growing up, all that went into my art. I hope people can feel some of that.

Is there someone or something you can’t live without? If so, what?

BW: That's an impossible question to answer. Too many people, too many things to name. I know where this question is coming from, though, and that final Demo story is one of my favorites because I have a fascination with people who stay together even when it seems so unadvisable or impossible. You start to wonder what the secret is... "She took him back? Why??" or "What in the hell does he see in her?", etc. The couple in that story are more like us then we want to admit, probably. And I think that's a good thing.

BC: I think the obvious answer is my mom, because I literally wouldn't be here without her. Truthfully though the only real constant in my life has been art, and it's hard to say what would happen if I couldn't draw. I can't say for a fact I would be a danger to myself and others, but I honestly don't think I would be here today without it. I've always been able to fall back on drawing, even when the rest of my life seems uncertain. Maybe that's why I love comics so much.

HED: A Farewell from the Creators of DEMO Vol. 2—Part 2

Wed, 07/07/2010 - 9:00am | DCE Editorial

So here we are again, the end of another DEMO series. When Brian first came to me with the idea for the original 12 issues, I knew it was something exciting; not only that, but it really spoke to me in such a way that I knew I had to be involved. I had no idea that so many people would pay attention to it, or that the series would carry me so far in my career, but I guess you don't think about those things when you are young and impetuous. I truly believed in Brian and these stories we were going to tell, so I leaped in.

Flash forward almost ten years, when Brian mentioned maybe doing a new series with Vertigo, again I jumped at the chance- the chemistry we have on this book is apparent whenever I read one of his scripts. It's like he is writing just for me to draw, and maybe he is. Maybe that's what makes DEMO what it is- but to think too much about it kind of defeats the purpose, so I'll just leave it at this: Brian is fantastic to work with. It's always a pleasure.

This issue, what's to say? The weirdest part was that I drew part of it in New York City, part in Oslo and the rest in London (at Jamie McKelvie's studio- thanks again!). I also approached this issue a little differently- a lot of my pencils I did small, then blew them up and used them as roughs. I have a lot of friends who do this, and I've done it before on mini comics, and on my graphic novel East Coast Rising, so I figured hey- why not try it again? That's what DEMO is all about, anyway.

So Brian already thanked everybody I wanted to, ditto that! Also included is everybody who's couch I ever crashed on, everyone who spotted me cash when I was short and we were out for dinner, and anyone who has ever lent their copy of DEMO to a friend (and maybe never gotten it back). Oh yeah, and thanks to Brian :) This was fun. Let's do it again sometime.

As always, comics still rule everything around me,
<3 Becky

A Farewell from the Creators of DEMO Vol. 2--Part 1

Wed, 07/07/2010 - 8:00am | DCE Editorial

It's all over, all over again, so soon?

Every time I think about Demo I'm reminded of how I got into comics in the first place. Parts of this story a lot of you have heard before, because the question is a very common one asked in interviews. But I'm going to try and go a little deeper, since it helps explain Demo.

Like almost everyone else I know and work with in comics, I never read them as a kid, not to any degree beyond seeing a Richie Rich comic in the waiting room at my childhood dentist. When I discovered comics, or rather when I discovered that comics could be for me, I was 25 and pursuing an art school degree. And that's what ended up defining what comics were (and, sort of, still are) to me: it's all about the medium.

I got into comics because of the form, not any particular story or a character or a title, not one universe or another, not the history of comics or of the people that made them. And it was the cold appraisal of the medium as a student trying to pick it apart, not that of a reader just looking for enjoyment. Even though, over a long time, I came to learn the history, to appreciate the creators and their seminal works over the decades, it's always been about the medium for me more than anything else.

Couple that with my instructors at college repeatedly driving home the point that there is nothing more important than creating new work and protecting what you create, there was just no way in hell I was ever going to end up seeking out a career working on company-owned books. It was just not the cards I was dealt, it's not how I "learned" comics. I don't say that haughtily--there are times I wish it were otherwise, since I don't have a lot of common ground with my peers when it comes to comics. It's alienating more often than I usually care to admit. It also meant that the growth of my career had an incredibly slow and frustrating start-- from 1997 through to 2005 I was essentially making comics for free and trying to find a toehold.

Anyway, I feel that this is why Demo is what Demo is. It's a very format-oriented take by a superhero-illiterate writer on what is an established sub-genre in mainstream comics: the "teen with powers." Skip ahead a bit in the backmatter of this issue and look at the original Demo pitch from back in 2002. Format is literally inseparable from what the story is. Good? Bad? Like I said, it is what it is.

I love Demo for what it is, and for what it's not. At times like this, looking back at a bunch of work just completed, it's really easy to feel pride at doing something that is unique and personal and so wholly Becky-and-me that it couldn't have been assigned to a different creative team like work-for-hire. I always think, and I'm sure I'm not alone, that the creator-owned books that work the best are the ones that are so owned and embodied by their creators that separating the two is inconceivable. Think of Casanova without Matt Fraction, Phonogram without Kieron and Jamie, or of Preacher without Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon.

So just like in 2004, Becky and I take a breather from a run of Demo. Many thanks to the Vertigo crew this time around, starting off first in a roundabout way to Will Dennis and Shelly Bond who were fans of the first series enough to offer both Becky and myself work on other things, and then later on thanks to Will, Karen Berger, Jack Mahan, and Mark Doyle for working to breathe a second life into the series. It's something of a cliched statement to say that they went above and beyond, but it's also totally true, and the fact that this new run of Demo stays so true to what Demo is and was is 100% due to their faith and diligence. Jared K Fletcher, Ryan Yount, and Amelia Grohman are also to be thanked on the production side, as well as all you readers, tweeters, and retailers.

I start to run out of nice things to say about working with Becky, which is crazy because is there anyone as nice in comics as Becky is? I've known her for a decade, very nearly, and working with her is effortless and completely rewarding. I continue to be humbled at the faith and hard work she puts into my stories. The perfect collaborator.

Until next time?

Artist Becky Cloonan talks DEMO Volume 2

Fri, 03/05/2010 - 9:00am | DCE Editorial

DEMO Volume 2 issue #2 “Pangs"went on sale this past Wednesday. Wow, what a wonderfully creepy story! It definitely makes me curious about who I encounter here in NYC on a daily basis….you just never know.

demov2-cv2

Well, included with all the cool extras in issue #2 is a preview of issue #3. “Volume One Love Story” is another fantastic short story about a girl obsessed with Post-it notes. Let me tell you, Marlo must get quite a discount at her local office supply store.

demov2-cv3-copy

I asked artist Becky Cloonan about drawing this issue and here’s what she had to say, "Marlo is probably the cutest character I've ever had the pleasure of drawing, and I think a lot of that was in her body language and posturing. On this issue I thought more about the way her character moved than anything else! Also, I find palm trees really hard to draw."
