Hasta La Ideas

Comic-Con’s blizzard of slick buzz and strange costumes kicks off tomorrow in San Diego. We’ll be staying right here at UnBeige HQ, curled up in our Eames La Chaise with a stack of Archie Double Digests and pining for simpler times, when the closest thing to hell in a comic book involved Jughead’s latest harebrained scheme (“Eep!”). But the comically inclined among you on the West Coast should consider spending Monday, August 3, in Los Angeles, learning how to create comics and graphic novels from comics writer, consultant, and publicist David Seidman. This Mediabistro seminar will take you through the entire comics-making process, from devising a proposal and writing word balloons (“Eep!”) to surviving Comic-Con and handling Hollywood. By the end of the night, you’ll be ready to impress even the most jaded holder of a master’s degree in folklore and mythology. Learn more here.
