The Small Press Expo Collection:
The collection includes works that show the evolution of an idea, technique, or story line. Congressman Lewis' moving autobiography, March, first appeared in preview form at SPX a year before the graphic novel. Ken Wong demonstrates the flexibility of print in Tamatebako, retelling a Japanese folktale by constructing a treasure box. Joel Gill's Strange Fruit mini-comic serial of unknown African-Americans became a noteworthy anthology. Chris Ware experiments with formats, characters, and stories in his Acme Novelty Library series. |
