On Dec 3rd at 1.30 PM,, along with Fantagraphic's Gary Groth, I'll be interviewing the one and only living legend JACK DAVIS at the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival. Programming and events (including the interview) will take place at UNION POOL, 484 Union Ave, #A, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and the festival is one block away at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, 275 N. 8th St. Jack Davis will also be attending the festival, signing his new career retrospective: "Drawing American Culture" at the Fantagraphics booth.

Picking a sampling of Jack Davis images to showcase from his 60-plus year career is a daunting, nearly impossible task, as there are literally thousands and thousands of top notch, funny, unmistakably JACK DAVIS illustrations to choose from, so I've selected a varied mix, some familiar and some more obscure, highlighting his astounding career. We'll be discussing many of these images with Jack on the 3rd. Hope to see you there!
