Join the Acme Screening Room and Soupcon Salon from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday July 27, for the second annual Lambertville Comic and Zine Con.
The Lambertville Comic and Zine Con is a celebration of DIY press, focusing on artists and writers creating self-published and small-press works. The event draws artists from throughout the Mid-Atlantic region to Lambertville, N.J., for one day only. The event is free to attend and family friendly.
At 5 p.m. join in for the film “Married to Comics,” with a post screening discussion with filmmaker John Kinhart. “Married to Comics,” Kinhart’s latest documentary, is an exceptional, meditative dip into the lives of cartoonists Justin Green and Carol Tyler, and their intense four decades as a couple.
It is a wonderful warts-and-all film portrayal of a marriage between two people – both of whom happen to be extraordinary artists, and who are, perhaps, not the easiest people to live with. This film is about love, turmoil, perseverance, betrayal, devotion, mental illness and the sometimes painful process of finding one’s identity through the creation of deeply personal art, whatever the cost.
Tickets are $10, $8 for students. An after party will take place at the Lambertville American Legion.
