Critics like to point out \u201ccomic books are not just superheroes,\u201d that they\u2019re also heartrending memoirs, important nonfiction, and even avant-garde art. True. But you can\u2019t throw this baby out with the bathwater because it\u2019s got gills; and it\u2019s invulnerable; and it can teleport safely back into its crib. The \u201csuperhero\u201d concept has also inspired indie, arty literary gems. Some being modern myths, others sophisticated satires, and others rock n\u2019 roll adventure time.<\/p>\n
PEN<\/span> presents a live performance, by creators & actors, of comics projected on the big screen to a soundtrack fitted to each strip. You will see unorthodox approaches to superhero favorites, as well as original concoctions. Curated and produced by Jeff Newelt.<\/p>\n With Kate Beaton, Nick Bertozzi, Kevin Colden, Mike Dawson, Ludovic Debeurme, Dean Haspiel, Michael Kupperman, Benjamin Marra, R. Sikoryak, Jeff Newelt, and Harvey Pekar (RIP<\/span>)<\/p>\n Tickets: $15\/$10 PEN<\/span> Members, students with valid ID.
