Comic Club at the Motor City Comic Con, Friday May 25th-27th


Comic Club is a student run organization at the University of Michigan designed to allow artists, writers, and comic book fans alike to have a forum in which to communicate and exchange ideas. Comics Club will provide a network that encourages students to create comics. Our goals are not only to make comics, but to make comics in a way that is somewhat unique. We push each other to push the boundaries of the comic genre, both stylistically and in regard to content.

Another goal of Comic Club is to compile comics that members have created, and others have submitted, into a publication. By involving multiple contributors the publication will hopefully expand past our own individual views, artistic styles, and experiences, and grow to encompass a variety perspectives, adding depth to the production as a whole.

This year our publication is called Comic Exposure, and includes work with social or political commentary. We hope that by undertaking a publication with such themes, Comic Exposure will engage both creators and readers in a dialogue surrounding pressing topics in the world today, and also art and comics as a genre. The aim for this series of comics is to bring current issues to the forefront of conversation, while simultaneously experimenting with the form and frameworks of the comic medium.

Come see us at the Heinrish White Art Show!!
