Countdown to Comic Con – Special Event!
Superman Beyond Borders: The Cross-Cultural Importance of Comics
Central Library
Thursday, September 20
6:00pm
As part of the Brown County Library Countdown to Comic-Con, join UWGB professors Dr. Bryan Carr and Dr. Regan Gurung for a discussion of the cross-cultural significance of comics, science fiction, and fantasy. Among the topics to be discussed: Superman and the immigrant experience, the rising influence of the Afrofuturism genre, and more! This discussion will be recorded for a future episode of the Serious Fun podcast from UW-Green Bay’s Phoenix Studios!
Featuring International Award-Winning Novelist Nnedi Okorafor!
We welcome Nnedi, an international award-winning novelist of African-based science fiction, fantasy and magical realism for both children and adults. Born in the United States to two Nigerian immigrant parents, Nnedi is known for weaving African culture into creative evocative settings and memorable characters. In a profile of Nnedi’s work titled, “Weapons of Mass Creation”, The New York Times called Nnedi’s imagination “stunning”.
Nnedi’s books include Lagoon (a British Science Fiction Association Award finalist for Best Novel), Who Fears Death (a World Fantasy Award winner for Best Novel), Kabu Kabu (A Publisher’s Weekly Best Book for Fall 2013), Akata Witch (an Amazon.com Best Book of the Year), Zahrah the Windseeker (winner of the Wole Soyinka Prize for African Literature), and The Shadow Speaker (a CBS Parallax Award winner).
Her latest works include her novel The Book of Phoenix (an Arthur C. Clarke Award finalist), her Binti Trilogy ( the first of which won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Novella) and her children’s book Chicken in the Kitchen (winner of an Africana Book Award), and Akata Warrior. She has recently written a number of Black Panther comics, and has just been announced as the writer for the upcoming Shuri series, about Black Panther’s sister.”
Nnedi is a Full Professor at the University at Buffalo, New York (SUNY).
