      <image:caption>At the Flushing Town Hall, Queens, NY Artists have used storytelling to fill gaps in history, reframe present-day narratives, and imagine alternative futures.

      <image:caption>Queer Comix Group Our convention is the premier boutique comic and popular culture show in the City, chock full of celebrities, exhibitors, collectors, cosplayers, and folks out for a great time in the City. Through the central theme of comic books, the convention features a large range of pop culture elements including original artwork, science fiction/fantasy, film/television, cosplay, animation, anime, manga, toys, horror, collectible card games, video games, and fantasy novels. The show invariably includes  panels, seminars, and workshops with our guests and professionals from various fields along with feature previews of upcoming films. Of course there is our justifiably renowned main event Cosplay contest, always packed full of the most outrageous and out there NY cosplayers. From its beginnings cosplay has been an integral and vital part of our heritage. We love the art and celebrate the way cosplayers have revitalized conventions by creating a dynamic link between the worlds of comics, animation, cinema, and real life.

      <image:title>Events - ANITA WW3 Illustrated #51 The World We Are Fighting For This will be an explosive year. The actions we take now will define the future of our political systems and the viability of our planet. It is a good time to ask: What do we really care about? What are we fighting for? World War 3 Illustrated is North America’s longest-running anthology of political comics and, for the fifty-first edition, artists and writers were asked to bring heart and vision to this question. The comics in this edition range from cheerful to angry, from prescriptive to absurd, employing both humor and strong imagery. Some are road maps for change. Others simply tell us what the artists’ values are and what they hold dear in an era of climate chaos, social polarization, and political authoritarianism.</image:title>

Curators Kris Nuzzi and Sur Rodney (Sur) linked artists of a generation born after 1970 to an earlier generation of artists that were active in the 1980s. By creating these layered connections and presenting artwork by both historical and contemporary artists, the exhibition aimed to add to the ongoing dialogue and position the work within a layered timeline of AIDS, art and culture, using art as a means to educate, encourage discussion and inform that AIDS IS NOT OVER.” READ MORE HERE</image:caption>

      <image:title>Comics - The Bicentennial Generation by Carlo Quispe &amp; Nadia Rondon World War 3 Illustrated: World War NOW?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Seth Tobocman (Editor); Susan Simensky Bietila (Editor); Nicole Schulman (Editor); Jordan Worley (Editor) Today the planet is a hot mess! A train wreck! A forest fire! A breached dam! A nuclear reactor that could melt down at any second! A massacre! And the problem is that these are not metaphors. There are over thirty wars going on in the world today, with new ones starting all the time. Added to this human insanity is the reality of climate change and looming mass extinctions.  A lasting peace can only be obtained through addressing the historic injustices created by centuries of capitalism, racism, imperialism, sexism, gender discrimination, and colonialism. Only justice will give us peace. World War 3 NOW? is our anthology of comics, art, poetry, and writing by creative people from Ukraine, the United States, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Russia, Palestine, Italy, Israel, Peru, and other countries. Through this collection we attempt to produce a composite picture of the planet at this critical moment. Artists and writers in this issue include: Sue Coe, Yuriy Tarnawsky, Gord Hill, Edmund Truman, Larimar Lora, Annabelle Heckler, p.tits.a , Steve Brodner, NO BONZO, Carlo Quispe, Dania &amp; Sara, Frances Jetter, Haneen Nazzal, Isabella Bannerman, Tom Keough, Connie Norgren, Kevin Pyle, Stephen Kroninger, Volodymyr Bilyk, Harbin Lostutter, Priscilla Grim, Maryna Novohorodska, Mohammad Sabaaneh, Michael MYSH Rozanov, Nico Donatti, Nidal, Orange, Peter Kuper, Peter Odum, Sabrina Jones, Sara Shehadeh, Sara Naba, Seth Tobocman, Shalom Neuman, Tayseer Barakat, Nicole Schulman, and Susan Simensky Bietila.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>World War 3 Illustrated is back with a collection of comics and art about repairing our deeply damaged world. Over twenty artists interpret the theme in a wide variety of ways: mutual aid in the face of a deadly pandemic, the struggle to respond to catastrophic climate change; prison abolition and reparations for African Americans; the right of return for Palestinians and the restoration of land to Native Americans; the everyday efforts of workers who are repairing people and places and systems all around us, often invisibly; personal stories of recovery from the trauma of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bullying, illness, abuse, or addiction. Today's youth especially have taken on this care work, creating strong social bonds to counteract institutional neglect. With a sense of optimism and direct action the artists of World War 3 Illustrated draw us solutions for some of our thorniest problems.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“We believe that, just as the Bronx has a deep, colorful history of colonization, civil rights struggle, immigration and cultural diversity from every country and society of the world the same is true of our monsters. They come from every mythology, legend, and folk tale, and live among the other immigrants. They are beautiful, horrifying, unbelievable, and, just like every other immigrant, struggle to adapt and survive in our often troubled and conflicted society. Their issues are our issues. They are of all orientations, sexualities, education levels and social classes. Our monsters are beautiful, fabulous, and multicultural in that Boogie Down way”- Ivan Velez Jr.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Comics - ANITA - WW3 Illustrated #51 The World We Are Fighting For</image:title>
      <image:caption>“This will be an explosive year. The actions we take now will define the future of our political systems and the viability of our planet. It is a good time to ask: What do we really care about? What are we fighting for? World War 3 Illustrated is North America’s longest-running anthology of political comics and, for the fifty-first edition, artists and writers were asked to bring heart and vision to this question. The comics in this edition range from cheerful to angry, from prescriptive to absurd, employing both humor and strong imagery. Some are roadmaps for change. Others simply tell us what the artists’ values are and what they hold dear in an era of climate chaos, social polarization, and political authoritarianism.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Strip AIDS 2020 takes its title from a comics anthology produced in 1987 by Don Melia and Lionel Gracey-Whitman. The original Strip AIDS gathered together a broad cross-section of both the underground and mainstream comics communities, all of whom donated new and existing strips about HIV/AIDS in a show of solidarity and support, and to raise funds for London Lighthouse, an innovative care center and hospice for people with HIV and AIDS in London, UK. The anthology inspired a US version published in 1988, titled Strip AIDS USA, edited by Trina Robbins, Bill Sienkiewicz and Robert Triptow.”</image:caption>

Visual AIDS Artist+ Member and HIV advocate Joey Terrill and cartoonist Carlo Quispe talk about comics as a tool for addressing fear and stigma in the gay community.

      <image:caption>“Carlo Quispe’s autobiographical Carlito is a legit joy, as we follow the coming-of-age trials and tribulations of his ten-year-old self who moves from Spain to Peru to US, navigating his parents’ divorce and emerging sexuality along the way. Illustrated with an economy of lines but a surplus of passion, this is everything you used to love about autobio but thought long lost in this age of clinically dispassionate memoir, and represents one of the best five dollar expenditures you’ll make this year.” Ryan C.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Comics - Besame Mucho</image:title>
      <image:caption>WW3 Illustrated 42, Tahrir : Liberation from the Mideast to the Midwest "Bésame Mucho" is a plea for love and understanding, a call-out to sexual liberation and self expression. It is a comic made to honor of the struggle of the young activists of MHOL in Lima facing violence and religious intolerance.” - Carlo Quispe “Carlo Quispe's "Besame Mucho", an account of the struggle for gay rights in Peru through public kissing events, is at once painfully local and profoundly international in its scope.” - Rob Clough “Included in this section as well are images and selections from the young queer Peruvian-American artist Carlo Quispe's anarchic life-size comics. Distributed for free in zines in his queer community in New York City, or displayed in "World War III Illustrated," an anarchist collective of comic book artists of which he is a member, Quispe's images evoke a carnivalesque cornucopia of the queer utopic imaginary that plays with notions of desire, the public, radical politics, convention, and the queering of religious imagery. Quispe's evocative imagery transgresses typical notions of public and private, secular and religious in ways that open up a gleeful, inclusive, and radically collective future.” - S&amp;F Online</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Seth Tobocman (Editor); Susan Simensky Bietila (Editor); Nicole Schulman (Editor); Jordan Worley (Editor) Today the planet is a hot mess! A train wreck! A forest fire! A breached dam! A nuclear reactor that could melt down at any second! A massacre! And the problem is that these are not metaphors. There are over thirty wars going on in the world today, with new ones starting all the time. Added to this human insanity is the reality of climate change and looming mass extinctions. A lasting peace can only be obtained through addressing the historic injustices created by centuries of capitalism, racism, imperialism, sexism, gender discrimination, and colonialism. Only justice will give us peace. World War 3 NOW? is our anthology of comics, art, poetry, and writing by creative people from Ukraine, the United States, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Russia, Palestine, Italy, Israel, Peru, and other countries. Through this collection we attempt to produce a composite picture of the planet at this critical moment. Artists and writers in this issue include: Sue Coe, Yuriy Tarnawsky, Gord Hill, Edmund Truman, Larimar Lora, Annabelle Heckler, p.tits.a , Steve Brodner, NO BONZO, Carlo Quispe, Dania &amp; Sara, Frances Jetter, Haneen Nazzal, Isabella Bannerman, Tom Keough, Connie Norgren, Kevin Pyle, Stephen Kroninger, Volodymyr Bilyk, Harbin Lostutter, Priscilla Grim, Maryna Novohorodska, Mohammad Sabaaneh, Michael MYSH Rozanov, Nico Donatti, Nidal, Orange, Peter Kuper, Peter Odum, Sabrina Jones, Sara Shehadeh, Sara Naba, Seth Tobocman, Shalom Neuman, Tayseer Barakat, Nicole Schulman, and Susan Simensky Bietila. $20.00 plus shipping Available at AK Press</image:caption>
