Event description
Rina Ayuyang is an Eisner and Ignatz-nominated cartoonist, publisher, and podcaster, and a local comics legend!
Rina’s new book, The Man in The McIntosh Suit, is a Filipino-American take on Depression-era noir featuring mistaken identities, speakeasies, and lost love in San Francisco’s Manilatown. Her previous book, Blame This on the Boogie, is an homage to the American Musical, exploring themes of identity, family, and pop-culture fanaticism. It appeared on best of year lists from Forbes, London Free Press, and on Publishers Weekly’s Critics Poll. Stories from her self-published mini-comic series Namby Pamby were collected in the book Whirlwind Wonderland co-published by Sparkplug Comic Books and Tugboat Press.
Ayuyang will read from her work and be interviewed by MFA Comics faculty member and fellow cartoonist Mel Gillman, followed by a short reception.
