Brilliant Comics Rock at SH

Winner of oodles of design and comic awards, Jordan Crane first emerged in the comic world in 1996 with the anthology, Non. Crane edited, contributed to, and published Non, which became that era’s showcase for the most explosive young experimental cartoonists. The short-lived series has been compared to Spiegelman and Mouly’s Raw. Now, Crane’s most recent book, The Clouds Above, has been called a cross between Where the Wild Things Are and The Wizard of Oz. Clouds has earned an Ignatz award nomination for “Outstanding Graphic Novel and Outstanding Artist”. Tonight, catch his opening—and the man himself—at Secret Headquarters: a perfectly monstrous, pre-Halloween delight to inspire you for the weekend. 8 – 10 pm. 3817 W. Sunset Blvd., Silver Lake. (LMK)
