Join us to celebrate the release of the definitive volume on Gary Panter's work -- Gary Panter -- from PictureBox Inc. with a talk and book signing directly to follow. Gary Panter has left his mark on every medium he's touched; from his era-defining punk graphics to his cartoon icon Jimbo to his visionary design for Pee-Wee's Playhouse. A three-time Emmy Award-winner and the recipient of the 2000 Chrysler Award for Design Excellence, Panter has drawn inspiration from diverse vernacular and traditional art arenas over the course of the past four decades.
Chris Ware, often described as an ‘alternative cartoonist,' is best-known as the creator of the Acme Novelty Library, publications in various formats that feature the adventures of such characters as Quimby the Mouse and Jimmy Corrigan. Not quite comic books, not quite graphic novels, Ware's work mines art history, popular culture, and personal experience, capturing a queasy sense of reality of modern life in a "retro" style distinctly his own.
Dan Nadel is the Director of PictureBox Inc., a Grammy Award-winning art, music, photography, and comics publisher based in Brooklyn, New York. Since 2004, PictureBox has specialized in bringing artists visions to print in startling and unexpected ways. Nadel is the author of Art Out of Time: Unknown Comics Visionaries 1900-1969.

Combine with…
What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but some infernal idiot keeps combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am the infernal idiot and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group.Q: What if this author is really two authors? A: We're working on a solution, but if you want you can post a brief disambiguation notice in the Common Knowledge section. Become a member to do this. Is this you?If you're an author, consider becoming an official LibraryThing Author. |
