Attention David Mazzuchelli fans!!!

In celebration of the release of his highly-anticipated book, Asterios Polyp, The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art will present David Mazzucchelli’s first retrospective exhibition in the U.S.

Mazzucchelli’s career encompasses early groundbreaking work in Daredevil and Batman: Year One; idiosyncratic short stories in his self-published anthology, Rubber Blanket, and elsewhere; the graphic novel adaptation of City of Glass; and his new graphic novel, Asterios Polyp. For over 25 years, Mazzucchelli has distinguished himself with articulate storytelling and emotive drawings in service to comics in a variety of genres.

The Comics of David Mazzucchelli presents over 80 original comic pages, drawings, prepatory sketches and covers from the artist’s archives, allowing an invaluable look at Mazzucchelli’s artistic journey. The exhibition will be curated by Dan Nadel.
The opening reception will be Saturday, June 6th, 7-9pm at the festival, but the exhibition will run through August at the MoCCA location.
