Join award-winning cartoonist Keith Knight and Author/Activist Mat Schwarzman as they invade Green Brain Comics (13210 Michigan Ave. in Dearborn) on Thurs. Oct. 20, at 6:30pm, to celebrate the release of two new books; the Beginner’s Guide to Community-Based Arts (New Village Press) and The Passion of the Keef: the Fourth K Chronicles Compendium (Manic D Press).
The Beginner’s Guide to Community Based Arts (co-authored by Knight and Schwarzman) is a comics-illustrated travelogue that documents real artists at work revitalizing communities across the United States. Artists include Ricardo Levins Morales, an illustrator with the Northland Poster Collective in Minneapolis.
The Passion of the Keef is Knight’s fourth collection of his autobiographical strip, the K Chronicles. His work can be seen in publications across the United States, including Salon.com, Mad Magazine, the Funny Times, Buzz, ESPN the Magazine, and Boston’s Weekly Dig.
Knight ‘s slideshow spins strange and humorous tales of censorship, race, politics, the importance of community-based art, and being mistaken for Boondocks creator Aaron MacGruder (who wrote the foreward to “Passion..”). The tour will hit nine cities in ten days, including Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, the Twin Cites, Madison and Milwaukee from Oct. 18-Oct. 28.

Knight’s other books include; Dances with Sheep, Fear of a Black Marker, Red, White, Black & Blue (Manic D Press) and What a Long Strange Strip It’s Been (Top Shelf).
