Hermes Press Publisher Celebrates Influential Artist
Syracuse’s Salt City Comic-Con has just added a new panel to this weekend’s line-up called Gil Kane: Comic Book Storyteller.
Daniel Herman (author of Gil Kane the Art of the Comics, Gil Kane Art and Interviews and Silver Age the Second Generation of Comic Book Artists and Publisher of Hermes Press) will explore the work of one of the most influential artists of the Silver Age of comics, Gil Kane. Herman will discuss Kane’s impact on art of comic book storytelling, his creation of the first modern graphic novels, his work in animation and more.
The program will begin with a brief video and will explore Kane’s growth starting in the Golden Age. There will also be a question and answer segment at the end of the program.
Prizes, including Hermes Press’ classic (and out of print) Gil Kane Art and Interviews, and TwoMorrow’s Comic Book Creator issue #11, featuring Gil Kane, will be randomly awarded to panel attendees.
