Admission is free. Reservations recommended. To RSVP,click here.

Reception to follow.

I've read two out of three volumes of You'll Never Know. It's a real achievement and is beautifully told. If you are interested in the film business and you are not learning everything you can about comics and graphic novels, then you may not really be interested in film. We'll be exploring that further in coming weeks, but for now let me say that any opportunity to hear Henry Jenkins talk about comics shouldn't be missed and Tyler's work is a great example of one of the most interesting comic forms today. Do me a favor and at least read the full description of the event here and then think about reserving a spot. It's not like you can't walk there.
