Denis Kitchen, a cartoonist, publisher and author, will give an illustrated lecture, “Will Eisner: The Father of Graphic Novels.” An overview of Eisner’s long and fascinating career, Kitchen’s lecture will feature firsthand anecdotes, and will appeal to novices of comic art and hardcore fans alike. Kitchen worked closely with Will Eisner for over thirty years as his publisher, then agent, and continues to represent the artist’s estate. He will answer questions afterward and will be available for a walking tour of the art exhibit.
