Kim Deitch is widely regarded as one of the best cartoonists of his generation. A seminal figure in the Underground Comix movement in the 1960s, he has worked nonstop for the last 30 years. The new graphic novel from the author of The Boulevard of Broken Dreams ("A masterpiece"--Time), is one of the wildest, surrealistic bittersweet pieces of work you will ever read. Pygmie islands, talking dolls, midget towns built to scale, madness, autobiography, cats, and obsession all blend together in Alias the Cat, creating an eye bending classic and one of Deitch's best works.
A large limited edition silkscreen print of Deitch's poster will be for sale while supplies last too.
Come join us for what will undoubtebly by a totally rad night of comics and movies.
