Photos from the SPX Library Gift Presentation to Baltimore’s Enoch Pratt Free Library

Just in case you missed this earlier today…

The Small Press Expo announced the Enoch Pratt Free Library as the recipient of the 2012 SPX Graphic Novel Gift Program. $5000 worth of books - 240 graphic novels, 40 titles!

Here’s a few snaps of SPX honcho, Warren Bernard delivering the gift to the librarians of Enoch Pratt!

SPX would like to thank Fantagraphics, Drawn & Quarterly, Adhouse Books and Top Shelf for their continued support of this program!

This is not to mention the support of all the attendees of SPX. It is only your visit to SPX each year makes the Library Gift Program possible.

We quite literally could not do this without you.

Who says you have to wait until September for some SPX action?

Not us!

The Small Press Expo is co-sponsoring a tremendously cool comics event for our DC-area people, hosted by our good buds at Politics and Prose (if you ask me, the crown jewel of Washington, DC’s independent bookstores).  

The incredible Guy Delisle is coming to Politics & Prose on April 26th, touring in support of the English translation of his latest graphic novel, Jerusalem, debuting this month from our friends at Drawn & Quarterly.

D&Q has a great preview of Jerusalem online that you should most assuredly check out if you are unfamiliar with Guy’s work. Delisle is famous for his first-person travelogues from places like Burma, North Korea and China.  

In Jerusalem he recounts a year his family spent in Israel while his wife worked with Doctors without Borders.  Originally published last year as Chroniques de Jérusalem, the graphic novelwon the Angoulême Comics Festival Prize for Best Album in 2012.

As a little extra bonus, EVERYONE who picks up a signed copy of Jerusalem at the April 26th event will also receive a FREE PASS to the 2012 Small Press Expo.

That’s pretty rad, right?

We would absolutely love it if you’d help share the word about the event. 

So tell your comics-loving pals to come on out next Tursday, April 26th to see Guy Delisle at Politics and Prose. Start time is 7:30 PM!

Let’s show Guy a great welcome in DC!

Chester Brown Interview with Fanny Kiefer
It’s no secret that I’m a huge Chester Brown fan. I only recently came across his work, the first book of his that I read being Paying For It. Brown’s extreme self-awareness and unwavering critical analysis of his own thought patterns is so refreshing I’m almost enamoured instantly. Since Paying For It, I’ve been ingesting his earlier publications at a steady pace. Thankfully I still have more to read. I’ll be so disappointed once I’ve finished them all.
