DOGS: A Comic Anthology by Art School Alumni
Stamps alumni Jeremy Stoll, Cristina Mezuk, and Mindy Steffen (BFA 2006) have contributed short comic stories to “DOGS! An Anthology.” The US release party is Friday October 24th from 7PM — 9PM at the Vault of Midnight comic store: 219 S Main St, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104: Facebok Event.
This collection of comics was conceived after a series of meandering conversations with artists in India and the US revealed a shared admiration for dogs, as well as a collective desire to explore what the world would like from the other end of a snout. In this collection, you will encounter dogs that are post-apocalyptic, self-reflective, murderous, environmentally-conscious – and much more!
Come on out to Vault of Midnight on Friday, October 24th and meet creators Jeremy Stoll, Cristina Mezuk, and Patrick Goussy! The evening will begin with a brief introduction by Stoll, a researcher of India’s comics culture, followed by a chat about their stories by Mezuk, Goussy, and Stoll. Possible Skype appearances by Mindy Indy and Vidyun Sabhaney. Questions & conversation will be welcome, and book signing will follow.
DOGS! is the result of an international collaboration between Captain Bijli Comics in New Delhi and Great Bear Comics in Michigan, along with many fantastic creators in India and the United States. All proceeds from the US edition go to Last Day Dog Rescue, a volunteer-run no-kill rescue that focuses on rescuing dogs from the “Urgent” list across lower Michigan and parts of Ohio.
