Scott McCloud Talk and Signing at Schuler Books Tonight
[dc]G[/dc]ood news, Lansing! Acclaimed comic creator Scott McCloud has a signing and talk at Schuler Books tonight at 7:00 PM! Better still, this is a free event. (The event will be at the Eastwood Schuler Books, 2820 Towne Center Blvd., Lansing, MI)
McCloud is best known for his books about comics: Understanding Comics, Making Comics, and Reinventing Comics.
I’m sure McCloud will touch on subjects in each of these books, but he will also be talking about his new (fiction) comic, The Sculptor.

I have yet to read The Sculptor (I’m picking up a copy at tonight’s signing), but I keep reading plenty of great reviews online. I own Understanding Comics and Making Comics, which I highly recommend for fans and creators of comics (or any sort of visual storytelling).
The Scott McCloud talk and signing is in conjunction with the MSU Comics Forum, and kicks off a series of fun (and free) events. Tonight’s event starts at 7:00 PM, but I recommend showing up a few minutes early to get a good seat (or a good place to stand).
