Mad Graphic Novel Group

Graphic Novel

Title: Mad Graphic Novel Group
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: 2011-12-06
End Time: 21:00

To end this year, we are going to read the book Ghost World by Daniel Clowes. This was originally serialized in issues #11 through #18 (June 1993 to March 1997) of Clowes’s comic book series Eightball. It was also adapted to film in 2001 starring Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson.

Ghost World follows the day-to-day lives of best friends Enid Coleslaw and Rebecca Doppelmeyer, two cynical, pseudo-intellectual and intermittently witty teenage girls recently graduated from high school in the early 1990s. They spend their days wandering aimlessly around their unnamed American town, criticizing popular culture and the people they encounter while wondering what they will do for the rest of their days. As the comic progresses and Enid and Rebecca make the transition into adulthood, the two develop tensions and drift apart.

We will have our usual order of food if anyone is interested so bring money for that and also bring your usual donation for the Madlab itself.

Hope to see you there:)

    Hi,

    Just wondering is anyone allowed to turn up or do we need to book in advance? Also, how much is it if you drop in?

    Thanks,

    Helen :)

    Hi Helen,

    Anyone can pop in but if you want to know what books we are going to dicuss, you can either check here or also our facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/266941450024983/).

    There’s no actual fee to drop in, the Madlab itself is a community space that relies on donations. All I would say is bring a recommended donation of about 1 or two quid for the madlab itself and as the description above says, money for food if you’re interested (we usually vote on pizza or fish & chips, in other words, take away).

    Hope to see you there Helen:)

    Arun
