| Bay Area Comics: Drawing from Life | Thursday, August 31 | 7 PM
In Person: $15 | Livestream: Free | | |

Join us for a crash course in comics history with cartoonist Justin Hall and for live, illustrated storytelling from innovative Bay Area artists Rina Ayuyang, Fred Noland and Julia Wertz. Eager to dive into their next great read? KQED will host a mini zine and comics fest after the event. | | |
