Mad Graphic Novel Group – The Contract With God Trilogy

Graphic Novel Group

Title: Mad Graphic Novel Group – The Contract With God Trilogy
Location: MadLab
Description: A discussion group for those looking to talk, argue,
debate about graphic novels, comics, comix and web-comics.
Start Time: 19:00
Date: 2011-04-05
End Time: 21:00

The book for April is the holy grail, the first graphic novel that is The contract with God trilogy.

Written by Will Eisner, this tale takes on a century long time scale revolving around 55 Dropsie Avenue and the lives of those who lived there.

This month’s hosts is Adam and the webcomic for the month is “Think Of The Children” by Cristian Sager & EC Steiner. This satirical horror of the events leading up to the creation of the infamour comic book code will definitely stimulate a lot of conversation by itself.

The link for the webcomic: http://comicsmakekidsevil.com/?p=88

Another thing that I have the pleasure of telling you is that immediately after last Gng I collected and ordered the reading list for the upcoming months. To give you a taster, the next 3 months graphic novels (after the next book) in order are:

    1) Astro City: Life in the Big City by Kurt Busiek
    2) Local by Brian Wood
    3) Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware

Just to let you know, if you have any suggestions, please let me know:)

We also have our usual drill with the pizza, please bring money if you are interested and also we would be grateful if you could make a donation to the MadLab where the group is held as it is a charity.

    Hello there!
    I’m writing to let you all know how flattered EC Steiner and I are that you chose Think of the Children for your group. If you have any questions that come out of your discussion, we’re happy to answer them. You can contact me at christian.sager [at] gmail.com.

    I’m sure you’ll have plenty to discuss with Eisner’s A Contract With God. It’s an amazing work and crucial to the development of sequential storytelling.

    Stay well! – Christian
