Franzie Weldgen and RIT's Daniel Worden Present on Comics on September 25th

As part of its ImagiCon event to be held on September 25th, the MCC Library is hosting two free presentations on comics that day.

Daniel Worden of RIT will be presenting at 11:00 am on "Why Do Comics Matter Today?" Daniel Worden is the author of Petrochemical Fantasies: The Art & Energy of American Comics, and the editor of the books  The Comics of Joe Sacco: Journalism in a Visual World and The Comics of R. Crumb: Underground in the Art Museum. He is the co-director of the Rochester Indie Comics Expo (RICE), and he is a Professor of Art at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where he teaches courses in Art History, Comics Studies, Print Culture, and Visual Culture.

The second presentation will be given by MCC's own Franzie Weldgen at 1:00 pm. Weldgen is an artist, cartoonist, painter and professor in the Fine Arts department. His presentation will cover the research that he did last year for Cornell on Latin American comic book creators.

Both presentations will be given in room 2-423 in the LeRoy V. Good Library on the Brighton campus.
