Comic collaborators Ian Boothby and Pia Guerra hit Word Vancouver September 24
You’ve seen their combined talents in the New Yorker and the late, great MAD Magazine
The Collaborative Process—In Conversation with Ian Boothby and Pia Guerra streams via Word Vancouver on September 24 from 5 to 6 p.m.
AS PART OF Word Vancouver’s annual, and now online, celebration of the written word, Kyle Hawke hosts a conversation with two comic collaborators who have brought their genius to publications from MAD Magazine to the New Yorker. What makes their creative process all the more challenging is that they’re partners in life as well as work.
For his part, Boothby is an Eisner Award-winning writer known for his work as the lead writer on The Simpsons and Futurama comics. Guerra is a Canadian comic-book artist and cartoonist who’s made a name as penciller and co-creator of Vertigo's Y - The Last Man with writer Brian K. Vaughan. Added cred: she’s lent her artistic vision to Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror Comics. ”
