Powell’s City of Books does not seem large enough to contain the might of these two dynamos of the indie comics world, Lynda Barry (One! Hundred! Demons!) and Chris Ware (Jimmy Corrigan). Since Barry was recently awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant, I predict a madhouse for her alone—not to mention her new book Making Comics, which continues the outstanding comics art instruction of 2014’s Syllabus. Ware’s last big (literally enormous) work Building Stories met similar acclaim and since Rusty Brown sounds like a return to a more accessible book-sized comic, I would expect every comics fan in Portland to show. May the odds ever be in your favor!
