NPR's Book of the Day talks to Joe Sacco

 Comic journalist Joe Sacco on his portrait of deadly riots in Uttar Pradesh, India
Andrew Limbong
the once and future riot
Metropolitan Books

In 2013, two young Hindu cousins killed a Muslim man in a rural part of Uttar Pradesh, India. What followed was a series of alternating violence in the region between Hindus and Muslims. Renowned comic journalist Joe Sacco's new book, The Once And Future Riot, investigates that conflict and the stories people tell themselves about what happened. In today's episode, Sacco speaks with NPR's Andrew Limbong about illustrating violence and the "she-said, he-said" nature of this story.

CARTOONIST EVENT BOOK LAUNCH: DANNY PHANTOM: FAIR GAME
In conversation with GABRIELA EPSTEIN
>>SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14th @ 6:30pm
Cartoonist Gabriela Epstein @_pichikui returns to DC for an author talk & signing celebrating the launch of her second official canon DANNY PHANTOM graphic novel, FAIR GAME, December 14 at 6:30pm. Get a behind-the-scenes look at this story taking place after the events of the TV show!
After defeating Dark Danny and creating a new timeline, Danny Phantom is once again public enemy #1 of Amity Park, and Casper High School has revamped their curriculum to account for their belief that ghosts are a danger to the town. While Danny struggles to find a way to implement his knowledge of what ghosts are to help them coexist with humans, Valerie Gray is thriving as the best ghost hunter at school. But when the gang's old ally Wulf arrives in town looking for a ghost cub, Danny and the gang must help track down this spectral mini-wolf before their ghost-hunting classmates get to them first. Can Danny help protect these ghosts before they get caught, or will his past grudge with Valerie result in his end?

Dec 11 (TONIGHT!) CARA GORMALLY at Fantom Comics

Creator CARA GORMALLY in conversation with Washington Post editor HANNAH GOOD
>> THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11th @ 6:30PM

How do you process sexual trauma when it haunts you years later? Washington post comics editor Hannah Goodhart sits down with cartoonist Cara Gormally here at Fantom to discuss their graphic memoir tackling this heavy subject: EVERYTHING IS FINE, I'LL JUST WORK HARDER. All are welcome! Warning: lots of mentions of sexual assault.
"One day, during an ordinary early-morning run, Cara's watch dinged with a Facebook friend request. But when they checked the message, the photo slammed them backward in time and froze them in fear. Their rapist wanted to 'friend' them.

Cara always had a long to-do list; always had many projects; always was busy. But as their rapist continued to send friend requests and tried to reconnect with them, they began to lose their grip on their work, projects, and relationships. But then Cara connects with a therapist who guides them through a long but powerful process of healing. And Cara works to desensitize, reprocess, excavate and relive the old wounds in order to move past them and heal."

Today, we have the opportunity to chat with Sierra Barnes about Hans Vogel Is Dead Vol 2 and their experience creating #indiecomics! Check the links below to stay in touch with their future works! Deceased Nazi ace pilot Hans Vogel continues his journey through an eerie afterlife populated by figures from German folklore in this second graphic novel installment of Hans Vogel is Dead. Just when he's begun to take responsibility for his actions in life, direct confrontation with the Erlking, his vicious allies, and Hans's own past may send him spiraling back into denial—leaving Reineke, the young fox-girl in his care, in danger. https://www.darkhorse.com/Books/3012-... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://bsky.app/profile/sierrabravoa... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out my Linktree for a listing of all of my social media platforms to stay up to date - https://linktr.ee/keepingitgeekly
