Fantagraphics Bookstore Hosts Michael Kupperman

Michael Kupperman at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery on Saturday, May 8.


Michael Kupperman, creator of the sensational TALES DESIGNED TO THRIZZLE comic books and the animated cartoon characters “Snake ‘n’ Bacon,” appears in Seattle for the first time on Saturday, May 8, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery. The book signing will include an exhibition of Kupperman’s exquisite original art and will mark the debut of the 6th issue of Tales Designed to Thrizzle.

Kupperman’s unique graphic sensibility combines elements of anachronistic pulp detective magazines textured with sophisticated references to contemporary art and popular culture creating a seductive and absurdist aesthetic. The most recent issue of Tales Designed to Thrizzle includes eclectic features like “Cowboy Oscar Wilde,” “Modern Wallpaper,” “Twain & Einstein in ‘Chasin’ the Dream,’” and “Books are Stupid” among many others. The first 3 issues of Tales Designed to Thrizzle were recently collected into a handsome hardcover edition with a laugh-out-loud introduction by comic genius Robert Smigel. Kupperman’s illustrations frequently appear in prestigious periodicals including the New Yorker and McSweeney’s. His signature characters Snake ‘n’ Bacon were produced as a live action and animated pilot episode for Cartoon Network’s “Adult Swim” block, which will be screened at the May 8 reception.

Michael Kupperman’s appearance coincides with the colorful Georgetown Second Saturday Art Attack. In addition to diverse visual and performing arts presentations, the May 8 installment includes the Georgetown Super 8 Film Festival featuring continuous screenings of over 40 three minute films at venues throughout the historic neighborhood.

On Saturday, May 22 at 6:00 PM, Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery hosts a media presentation by Jim Woodring based on his latest graphic novel WEATHERCRAFT.

Fantagraphics Bookstore is located at 1201 S. Vale Street at Airport Way S. only minutes from downtown Seattle. Open daily 11:30 to 8:00 PM, Sundays until 5:00 PM. Phone 206.658.0110.
