Tim Hensley at Giant Robot

Tim Hensley Book signing at GR2

Sunday, May 30, 2010, 3:00 - 5:00 p.m.

Giant Robot is proud to host a reception and book signing with Tim Hensley to celebrate the release of his new graphic novel, Wally Gropius.

Superficially resembling 1960s teenage humor comics, Wally Gropius is actually an acute satire of power, celebrityhood, and modern culture that tells the story of the titular character, who bears a closer resemblance to a teenaged Richie Rich or a classmate of Archie Andrews at Riverdale High than he does the famous Bauhaus architect whose name he shares.

Wally is the human Dow Jones, the heir to a vast petrochemical conglomerate. When the elder Thaddeus Gropius confronts Wally with the boilerplate plot ultimatum that he must marry “the saddest girl in the world” or be disinherited, a yarn unravels that is part screwball comedy and part unhinged parable on the lucrativeness of changing your identity.

"One of my favorite 'graphic novels’' of all time. Hilarious and utterly unique, Wally Gropius is a work of unassuming genius that rewards on ever-deepening levels with each rereading." - Daniel Clowes

Originally serialized in Fantagraphics' house anthology Mome, the story is presented here in a larger format with additional, previously unseen material.

Tim Hensley was born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1966. He has published comics sporadically over the past decade and Wally Gropius is his magnum opus. The 2009 Ignatz Award nominee for Outstanding Artist lives in Los Angeles.

Giant Robot was born as a Los Angeles-based magazine about Asian, Asian-American, and new hybrid culture in 1994, but has evolved into a full-service pop culture provider with shops and galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City, as well as an online equivalent.

The reading and signing will take place on May 30 from 3:00 - 5:00. For more information about the event, GR2, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact:
