Scott McCloud - The Sculptor

Would you sell your soul for art? Faust did, and in McCloud’s update on the deal-with-the-devil theme the young and ambitious David Smith, does too. This powerful and moving story by the award-winning comics artist follows Smith as he trades life-span for the ability to sculpt anything he can imagine, while a reconsideration of work, love, and home teaches him what really matters.

McCloud will be in conversation with Michael Cavna, writer, artist, and lapsed cartoonist now producing The Washington Post’s “Comic Riffs.”
