The Valley Arts Council (VAC) and Artist Frank McLaughlin will collaborate on a one-man exhibit, featuring a variety of his original comic book art.
The show opening, which is free and open to the public, will be held at the VAC’s Gallery@37, 37 Elizabeth Street, Derby, on Saturday, May 22nd from 4-11 pm.
The art will remain on display through June 28th.
A 45-year veteran of the comics industry, Mr. McLaughlin has drawn some of the world’s most renowned icons such as Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman, among others.
He has worked with virtually every major comic publisher.
In addition to his comic book accomplishments, he has contributed to many newspaper strips including Gil Thorp, the Heart of Juliet Jones, Stan Smith’s Tennis Tips and Nancy.
A professor of art, Mr. McLaughlin teaches visual storytelling and cartooning at Paier College of Art in Hamden Connecticut.
His work on Wonder Woman, White Viper and Fatale has earned him the reputation as one of America’s leading illustrators of the female form, prompting the publishing of his book; “How to Draw Those Bodacious Bad Babes of Comics.”
All artwork will be for sale, with a portion of the proceeds helping to fund the VAC’s many community-based programs.
The exhibit will also feature the opportunity to meet the artist, and learn some fun and interesting facts about the comics industry and its historical connections to Derby.
Charlton Publications, a large publishing, printing & distribution organization, once occupied a 71/2-acre operation in Derby.
Contact Steve DiRienzo at 203.516.0822 for additional information, visit the VAC website at www.valleyartscouncil.org or email info@valleyartscouncil.org
