Atomics Comics News - Singapore

They have landed! Kurt Busiek, Gail Simone, Gail’s husband, Gary, and son, Cody have arrived in Singapore. I just got back from sending them to the hotel from the airport. Gail mentioned wanting to try chilli crabs, so anyone have any ideas where to bring her, just reply here.  I was thinking No Signboard at Geylang. Mard Waid couldn’t make this trip as he came down with a bad case of food poisoning. Kurt said their trip lasted 29 hours, so they are pretty much out of it. Hope they get well rested. Here’s a note from Gail:

National Arts Council will be bringing in writers Kurt Busiek & Gail Simone. They will both be appearing at the Arts House for the Singapore Writers Festival 2007 on Saturday 1 Dec 2007 and Sunday 2 Dec 2007.

Saturday 1 Dec 2007, Arts House Chamber, Level 2

1300 HRS MEET THE AUTHOR SESSION: KURT BUSIEK
Meet-the-Author sessions present the perfect opportunity for readers to meet their favourite writers for some well-deserved face-to-face interaction. Hear writers read from their yet-to-be published works, listen to their personal stories and life’s experiences and celebrate, above all, a love for reading and writing.

1400 HRS MEET THE AUTHOR SESSION: GAIL SIMONE

1600 HRS IN CONVERSATIONS WITH: FOR ADULTS ONLY - GAIL SIMONE, KURT BUSIEK
In Conversations With… are a series of panel discussions with a group of writers speaking on a specific topic related to the issues discussed in their works or stemming from their personal experiences. These sessions promise to deliver thought-provoking and emotionally-charged conversations with familiar and favourite writers from SWF 2007! FOR ADULTS ONLY is an invigorating panel on the age old debate – is the consumption of comics still considered fodder for younger readers or have the profile of comic fans evolved? Part retrospective, part discussion, For Adults Only delves into the often misunderstood world of comics and their fans.

Sunday 2 Dec 2007, Arts House Play Den, Level 2

1200 HRS FICTION FACTORY: TO BE CONTINUED… - KURT BUSIEK
A superhero to his legion fans, Kurt Busiek, is one of the most established writers of our time. Aside from his involvement in the popular Astro City and Arrowsmith, Busiek will also be talking about his work on iconic series like Superman and Spiderman and the challenges he faces in creating continuity in these works without alienating their die-hard fans.

1300 HRS FICTION FACTORY: THE WONDER OF WOMEN - GAIL SIMONE
Fiction Factory offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings into the minds of our contemporary writers. A series of talks targeting fledging fiction writers and fans, Fiction Factory delivers quality advice on the different stages involved in producing fiction; from the conception of ideas to the birth of the final product.
Widely regarded as a predominantly male-oriented industry, Gail Simone’s work has truly shone through and won her many fans worldwide. Hear this dynamic writer talk about her experiences as a female writer writing in a world of ‘Spidermen’, ‘Supermen’ and ‘Batmen’ and the inspirations behind her strong female characters.

1600 HRS LOCAL SUPERHEROES: GRAPHIC NOVELS - SONNY LIEW, GAIL SIMONE, KURT BUSIEK
Find out from our home-grown superheroes on what their experiences have been like in the Singapore graphic novel industry. Hear also from Kurt and Gail on their impressions of Asia and Singapore as well as how the rest of the world sees us. An exciting panel not to be missed!

Each event is an hour long.

The shop will be closed for the duration of these talks, unless I can find a replacement in time.
