And while we’re on the subject of comics, I was just reading about an event called Comic Books Fight AIDS, being held on Decemeber 1 (World AIDS Day) at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital here in New York Goddamn City. Sounds nifty. It’s being co-produced by the New York City Comic Book Museum, which despite my nerdy background I never even knew about.
So who wants to go with me? I’m mildly curious to see Judd Winick to see if he can finally shed the taint of the Real World in my mind, but I’m very curious to see a documentary they’re showing called Comic Books and AIDS: What’s the Story?,a half-hour piece highlighting the comic book industry’s response to AIDS, and its usefulness as a tool in education, awareness and prevention.
