Abrams ComicArts and Bergen Street Comics have joined forces to bring you the best comic book club of all time.

From bestselling graphic novels to locally printed indie comics, we will explore the themes and format of this exciting medium. Come for lively discussion and homemade treats; you're welcome/encouraged to BYOB.

Who should join? Anyone and Everyone—from those of us who grew up only reading the Sunday funnies, to professional comics artists - who wants to engage in open dialogue about the past, present, and future of this ever-expanding art form.

"When people think about comics, they often think of juvenile four-color stories with super heroes and funny animals- 'joke books,' our parents called them. In recent decades comics have evolved. No longer just for children, they tackle serious subjects ranging from the Holocaust and 9/11 memoirs, nonfiction, and metafiction—the content has been continuously changing, reflecting the times we live in."
—Charles Kochman, Executive Editor, Abrams ComicArts

      “I'm paranoid that someone might be talking about me. Seriously: I love the idea of the book club, think Abrams publishes some of the best books of and about comics, and want to take part as best I can from 3000 miles away.”
