PANELS

CBLDF: After the Code
Friday, 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Room 236/238

Earlier this year, the Comics Code Authority was shut down. For more than fifty years the Code seal has served as a vivid reminder of the brutal government investigation and self-censorship that decimated the industry in the 1950s. It also stood as a standard that led to the censorship of a wide variety of comics. As the Code fades into history, the CBLDF moderates a discussion about how the Code impacted comics and the threats that remain in its absence. The panel will include Sergio Aragones, Mike Friedrich, Paul Levitz, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Marv Wolfman, and will be moderated by CBLDF Executive Director Charles Brownstein.

Also on Friday:
Spotlight on Terry Moore
1:00-2:00
Room 236
Don’t miss this opportunity to catch up with one of the comic industry’s favorite indie creators! Charles Brownstein (CBLDF) will talk with Terry Moore about the finale of his latest series, ECHO, as well as exciting new projects slated for the coming year. This panel is always a fan favorite! Don’t miss it!

CBLDF: Live Art Jam
Saturday, 12:30 2:00 p.m.
Room 250/262

Watch great live art made before your eyes, on the big screen and bid to win the pieces to support a great cause! The CBLDF Live Art Jam features Tom Hodges (Star Wars), Carla Speed McNeil (Finder), and Terry Moore (Echo), plus special guests. Get an inside look at the creative act and win great art at the CBLDF Live Art Jam!

All the work the CBLDF does is possible because of supporters like you! Be sure to stop by booth 323 during WonderCon, April 1-3, 2011, to become a member, join us for a signing, pick up exclusive premiums, or just to share a few words of support!

Life, with a Chance of Exploding, in Loserville New Graphic Novel from SLG in June

Official Press Release

LIFE WITH A CHANCE OF EXPLODING
New SLG Graphic Novel Loserville Explores Meaning of Life and Explosions

SAN JOSE, CA – March 30 2011 – Jenna’s life is stagnating. Her husband is a slacker, her job isn’t worth the stress, and hypochondria is her only diversion. That is, until she starts getting symptoms of what doctors are calling “the worst disease in the world,” and it’s not all in her head. Loserville, a new SLG Publishing graphic novel by Alex Cox to be published in June, explores what happens when one woman’s life gets interesting.

Diagnosed with multiple sploderosis, Jenna knows that at any moment, she may explode. But with a little help from her subconscious mind, a wise advisor called Ice Cream Larry, and som Loserville cover e mysterious portals, Jenna just might use the bad news to take back control of her life.

In creating Loserville, Cox was inspired by a friend who had to cope with receiving a life-changing diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. “She diagnosed herself on the Internet and I thought she was crazy, and then she actually had what she diagnosed herself with,” said Cox. “So the story is basically about what happens when someone is diagnosed with a horrible disease, in this case a disease where you might explode. I wanted to explore how the thought of ‘you might, or might not, explode’ affects someone’s life and relationships.”

Another influence on Cox’s work was the surrealist Franz Kafka. “I befriended Kafka. I read some stories,” he said, adding, ” I don’t if it’s true, but he I heard he also worked in insurance to support his writing and it drove him crazy.”

Loserville Volume One: And Then You Might Explode
June 2011
120 pages
Black-and-white interiors
ISBN 978-1-59362-212-1
