Toon Talk with Mark Burstein: Dave Sheridan: Life With Dealer McDope, The Leather Nun, and The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

FREE! Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at 6:30pm 

781 Beach Street, San Francisco

Join the Cartoon Art Museum for a presentation and book-signing with Mark Burstein on his latest publication, Dave Sheridan: Life with Dealer McDope, The Leather Nun, and The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. This book is a long-overdue tribute to one of the true masters of the art movement known as “underground comix,” whose life was cut tragically short when he died suddenly, from cancer, in 1982. Yet in that brief time he managed to create some of the most significant and iconic characters (e.g., Dealer McDope and The Leather Nun) in underground comix; mind-bending, hysterically funny yet profound stories in comix such as Mother’s Oats, The Balloon Vendor, Time Twisted Tales, and Meef; not to mention helping take the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers to new pinnacles of graphic lunacy, collaborating with Gilbert Shelton on forty-five stories, including such classics as “Grass Roots,” “A Mexican Odyssey,” and “Winter of ’59,” which appeared in riotous color in Playboy.

About the Author: Mark Burstein is a book editor and writer, e.g., Alice in Comicland, Much Ado: The POGOfenokee Trivia Book, The Annotated Alice: 150th Anniversary Deluxe Edition; a noted Lewis Carroll scholar; and a known authority on American comic strips, particularly Pogo, and underground comix.

When Mike Friedrich, Jim Starlin’s old IRON MAN writing partner, moved out to California and started independently publishing his own anthology comic book, Starlin jumped at the chance to contribute. The first issue of STAR*REACH opened with Starlin’s seven-page tale about an artist who enters a slick “death building,” drops acid as he rides the elevator, boasts that he’s a “being of imagination,” and beheads a cloaked figure of Death. But soon, he himself is slain. As the story ends, another acid-eating artist enters the building—“My name is Starlin, Jim Starlin!”—one more lamb for the slaughter.

The Cartoon Art Museum presents The Infinite Universe of Jim Starlin, an exhibition celebrating the art and innovation of Jim Starlin. His acclaimed 1970s tenure as the writer and artist of the Marvel Comics series Captain Marvel and Warlock redefined the word “cosmic” and pushed the boundaries of mainstream superhero comics to their limits—and beyond. Starlin’s signature creation, Thanos, is the featured villain in Marvel Studios’ forthcoming feature film Avengers: Infinity War, which draws inspiration from many of Starlin’s Marvel Comics stories, including Captain Marvel, Warlock, Silver Surfer, and The Infinity Gauntlet. The Cartoon Art Museum’s retrospective celebrates the art and the artist behind these cosmic masterworks with a showcase of his Marvel Comics creations.

We also celebrate the art of costuming and prop design and creation with The Bronze Armory Studios as we explore the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the groundbreaking 2008 film Iron Man to the 2018 international blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War.

This exhibition features the artistry of Allan Lavigne, Studio Head of The Bronze Armory Studios. Mr. Lavigne has nearly 40 years of experience in both television and film in the design and creation of costumes and props.

Come learn more about The Infinite Universe of Jim Starlin and The Infinity war Pantheon of Heroes: The Art of Allen Lavigne and The Bronze Armory at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco by visiting our website or in person, on display until September 4.

By Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell

The Cartoon Art Museum, Top Shelf Productions, and IDW Publishing proudly present MARCH, an exhibition of original artwork from the acclaimed graphic novel trilogy written by Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin and illustrated by Nate Powell.

Discover the inside story of the Civil Rights Movement through the eyes of one of its most iconic figures, Congressman John Lewis, as artist Nate Powell chronicles Lewis’s journey from Troy, Alabama to Washington, D.C. The MARCH graphic novel trilogy, co-written by Andrew Aydin, received the 2016 National Book Award for Young People’s Literature, was the first graphic novel to win a Robert F. Kennedy Award, has won multiple Will Eisner Comics Industry Awards, and has been a staple of the New York Times and Washington Post bestseller lists.

Congressman John Lewis (GA-5) is an American icon, one of the key figures of the Civil Rights Movement. His commitment to justice and nonviolence has taken him from an Alabama sharecropper’s farm to the halls of Congress, from a segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington, and from receiving beatings from state troopers to receiving the Medal of Freedom from the first African-American president.

To share his remarkable story with new generations, Lewis produced March, a graphic novel trilogy, in collaboration with co-writer Andrew Aydin and New York Times best-selling artist Nate Powell.

March is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis’s lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Rooted in Lewis’ personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement.

Come learn more about March: A Graphic History of the Civil Rights Movement at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco by visiting our website or in person, on display from February 1 - June 19, 2018.
