An Evening with Brian Fies

The Cartoon Art Museum is proud to present an author talk and book signing with Brian Fies on Saturday, March 30, 2019 from 7pm to 8:30pm. Brian Fies is a writer and cartoonist. His widely acclaimed first graphic novel, Mom’s Cancer, won the Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic in 2005 (the first webcomic to win this award and the inspiration for the category), the 2007 Lulu Blooker Prize for Best Comic, the 2007 Harvey Award for Best New Talent, and the 2007 German Children’s Literature Award, among other awards and recognition. He is also the author of the Eisner-nominated webcomic The Last Mechanical Monster and the acclaimed, award-winning graphic novel Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? (winner of the American Astronautical Society’s 2009 Eugene M. Emme Award for Best Young Adult Literature). Although Fies lost his home, he and his wife, Karen, are rebuilding in Santa Rosa, California.
