Comics comics comics!

Washington Park Library is very excited to be offering this Learn To Draw Comics! program. We'd like to thank the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts for making this possible.
What makes comics so exciting, anyway? And not just the characters - Spiderman! or Ironman! or the Hulk!
ALTHOUGH they're admittedly very exciting- but it's all about the visual PUNCH*%#!!! of the artwork.
It's not just DC and Marvel -check out Golden Age Comics to see some of the forgotten series and superheroes, and other publishers: Fawcett Comics, Avon Comics, Harvey Comics and many many others - and superheroes and other protagonists such as Zaza the Mystic, Nature Boy, Bob Colt, Mary Marvel, Airboy, and the Blue Beetle.
Ask at your neighborhood library to sign up for this class- Washington Park, Olneyville, Wanskuck, Knight Memorial, and Rochambeau are all offering this beginning next week! Spaces are for kids and teens ages only- and space is limited! Call today!
