Featuring artwork from Art Professor Dee Hibbert-Jones’ comics student awardees: Aaron Samuel Mulenga, Lizzy Drew, Ellory Erecius, Emily Tran, Isabella Dennis, Milo Halperin, Pichy Jumpholwong, Serena Teresa and Stella Brown. Students directly responded to the Jim Gunderson & Peter Coha comics collection, other eclectic works by independent artists and ephemera from Special Collection & Archives.
See also sneak previews from the newest limited edition Slug Comic featuring Thought Drinker by Amy Gerstler and Elektro by Ivan Brandon, illustrations by Natalie Andrews and Francesca Cireglia.
