Learn Something New: Understanding Comics

Learn Something New is a series of programs for adults at the Public Library of Brookline. Come learn a new skill at the library!

Learn Something New - The Public Library of Brookline

Comics are their own storytelling format and can tell all kinds of stories. Whether you pore over the Sunday comic strips, read stacks of Japanese manga, or settle in with the latest graphic novel memoir, there is a title for you. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Scott McCloud's landmark text Understanding Comics, a guide to how comics work written in the format. Everyone from new comics readers to long-time enthusiasts are invited to join the library's resident comics expert Robin Brenner to learn how to decode visual cues, read in between the panels, and understand how this hybrid medium engages our brains.
This event is part of the Learn Something New series. Generously sponsored by the Library Trustees.
