Master Lecture Series - Making Comics Everyday
Master Lecture Series - Making Comics Everyday
Speaker: Mr Christopher Sperandio
Can comics inspire imagination beyond Superman, Spiderman and Batman? Christopher ventures to terra nova with his creative oollaborators: a chocolate bar celebrating the workers' say. true stories of those who roam the city after dark, legends and myths that bring a community together, politically-charged satire of vintage comics that made a point when rights of women and minorities were endangered... Recently, Kartoon Kings (a long-term collaboration between Chris and Simon GRENNAN) has turned a transit bus into Cargo Space, a rockstar-style traveling arts platform for extensive road trips and multidisciplinary exchange. As a scholar, Chris also researches on indigenous comics around the world. Comics. in his case. is definitely in plural form beyond one superhero.
