For those of you who missed the chance to pre-order your comic (you know who you are) via the successful chipin campaign that finished last week, fear not! Copies of the latest comic Adam Bessie and I put together on understanding education reform in the US will be available at San Francisco’s Alternative Press Expo this weekend. It’s at the Concourse Exhibition Center in SoMa. I’ll be there with Nomi Kane at the Center for Cartoon Studies table, so be sure to stop by. In the meantime, here are some sneak peeks at the first finished proof, which I approved for printing but a few moments ago (cheers to Keness printers in SF for their appreciation of a pre-APE deadline and fine sarcasm – a requisite for printers nowadays).
The glistening front cover
Full bleeds, footnotes, glorious CMYK – what more could you want? (Tea not included)
Belated thanks to all of you who pre-ordered a copy of the education reform comic, which I’m delighted to say is currently at the printers, ahead of this weekend’s Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco. (It’s in the Concourse Exhbition Center in SoMA, like always). Be sure to stop by the Center for Cartoon Studies table where I’ll be both days and say hi
We were able to raise over $500 to cover the printing overheads, and copies will be shipping next week. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, check out the press release for a quick intro to the project here.
The comic has footnotes, appendices, interviews and introductory notes in addition to the full colour pages that ran on Truthout, plus a raft of resources and links you can check out for more information on the education debacle. I mean debate.
Other big news is that this week I’m launching a webcomic to chronicle my next big project, starting tomorrow. Be sure to check back in and spread the word!
If you’re a regular visitor to Archcomix, a graphic journalist enthusiast or just a first-timer here, then please consider contributing to the print run for my latest comic, The Disaster Capitalism Curriculum: The High Price of Education Reform, a comics primer to the US Education Reform debate. If you want to know the backstory to this week’s teacher’s strike in Chicago, or the origins of the reforms and their divisive effect on the political landscape – not to mention the view from the ground (or classroom) from several teachers and staff working in education, then look no further. $8 plus shipping through paypal.
