The Book Cellar 4736 North Lincoln http://www.bookcellarinc.com 773/293.2665 Come on down to Lincoln Square to meet the very local editors behind two of the hottest comics anthologies going: Anne Elizabeth Moore (Best American Comics) and Ivan Brunetti (An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories)—both given As by Entertainment Weekly! Anne and Ivan will geek out over Cliff Sterrit, moon over the brilliant contributors who made it into both books, parse the influence of Lincoln Square on the current popularity of comics in the mainstream book market, and swear to the high heavens never to take on anything this major again . . . for at least another year. Join us with your questions about webcomix, pen nibs, book deals, or that one thing that happened to Aquaman that one time. Remember that? It was awesome!*
