📚Do you love comics? 📚
Please join us at KQED for a special event on Thursday, August 31 at 7PM to celebrate the diverse and vibrant Bay Area comics scene. This event is a crash course in comics history with Justin Hall and live, on-stage storytelling with Bay Area artists Rina Ayuyang, Fred Noland and Julia Wertz. In honest, humorous and often difficult stories about their own lives and lesser-known histories, these artists continue to build on the rich legacy of local comics. For those hungry to dive into their next great discovery, a mini zine and comics fest will follow the stage event.

Back on August 11, 1973, an 18-year-old DJ named Clive Campbell, aka DJ Kool Herc, hosted a small party for teenagers on Aug. 11, 1973 in a local community room. This small event is now considered and celebrated as the birth of hip-hop.
