This weekend, Williamsburg, Brooklyn becomes the World Capital of Comics, as Comic Arts Brooklyn opens its doors for two days of unique and entertaining fun. 

More than 100 artists/publishers/galleries/friends of comics will offer their wares on Saturday. From the Arctic plains of Finland [Bolng Boing] to the Pacific Northwest [Fantagraphics], all wrapped in a cyber-mantle of individual proponents of the form [Birdcage Bottom Books, for one], just about every aspect of sequential narrative will be on hand. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, 12 Havemeyer Street, Brooklyn, NY. Map Info

This homegrown fest with a global reach presents a day of talks and interviews on Sunday. Among the subjects on the table are Gardening [it's really about chaos control], Patience [Dan Clowes], Childhood [Francoise Mouly and Art Spiegelman], and Trashed [Derf Backderf and Karen Green], among others.  The Wythe Hotel, 80 Wythe Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. Map Info Above: from The Last Book of Hope by Tommi Musturi
