Event Update: On opening day October 4, there will be an artist’s panel in the museum’s theater at 2:00. Colleen Doran will discuss her art with curator Kim Munson, hosted by SDCC’s Eddie Ibrahim. Following the panel Colleen will be signing. Copies of Snow, Glass, Apples, the Snow, Glass, Apples poster (see end of this post), and Chivalry will be available in the museum store. Kim will also be signing her book Comic Art in Museums. Two other exhibits will also be opening, a display about the evolution of color in comics organized by Steve Oliff, and Popnology, which focuses on the intersection of technology and pop culture.
About the exhibit: In the midst of a long career drawing comics for such titles as Wonder Woman, Amazing Spider-Man, and her own creator-owned title A Distant Soil, Colleen Doran has found her artistic Holy Grail in her series of adaptations of Neil Gaiman’s short stories for Dark Horse, including her latest Eisner & Locus Award-winning masterpiece Chivalry, the Eisner, Bram Stoker, & Ringo Award-winning dark fantasy Snow, Glass, Apples, and Troll Bridge, a spooky coming-of-age story.
