MEET THE AUTHOR:
1000 Comic Books You Must Read by Tony Isabella
You can call them graphic novels if you want to, but it’s time to face the facts. Comic books are at the cutting edge of art and culture and you’re way behind. Don’t fret. Tony Isabella wants to help. With twenty years as a commentator, nearly forty years as a creator and over fifty years of reading comics under his belt, he’s the mild-mannered man for the job. In his latest book, illustrated with some of the best comic art of the last seventy years, Tony goes beyond superheroes into adventure, romance, humor, horror and more. From Uncle Scrooge to Betty and Veronica, with Batman, Spider-man and Fin Fang Foom along for the ride, you won’t want to miss the four-color slideshow presentation that goes with this talk! Books will be available for sale and signing.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Saturday, May 8
THE LAKEWOOD PUBLIC CINEMA:
From Russia with Love (1963) Directed by Terence Young Rated PG
The name is Bond, James Bond. Who else can protect the free world by romancing a stunning Russian beauty? Obviously, she will betray him and lure him into a deathtrap, but it’s all a part of 007’s plan. Look out for belly dancers and poison-tipped shoes and see for yourself why Sean Connery still owns this part.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
