Exciting comics event coming up! Renowned cartoonist
Bryan Lee O'Malley will be at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly to launch his new graphic novel,
Seconds tonight!
O'Malley will be in conversation with Brad Mackay, co-founder of the
Doug Wright Awards, and will also be signing books!
Doors at 6:30 p.m., event at 7 p.m. Please note that all tickets are now SOLD OUT.
Seconds is the highly anticipated new stand-alone, full-colour graphic
novel from Bryan Lee O'Malley, author and artist of the hugely bestselling (and
Toronto-set)
Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series.
Seconds is a
complex and novelistic story about a young restaurant owner named
Katie who, after being visited by a magical apparition, is given a second
chance at love and to undo her wrongs. Fans new and old will love O'Malley's
bold and quirky style infused with his subtle, playful humour.
Advance praise for Seconds:
“In Seconds, Bryan Lee O’Malley plays the angst
of youth against the fabric of larger epics. In doing so, he enriches
both. At long last, dear reader, one can dream of heroes and monsters and
battles beyond this earth while contemplating the virtues of ‘having a
thing’ in the grocery pantry. A great ride!”
—Guillermo del Toro
“Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Seconds is adorable, haunting, funny, and
beautiful. A perfect recipe for a great graphic novel.”
—Scott McCloud, author of Understanding Comics
