IDW Art Day: Nick Bertozzi (Karmopolis)

Kick off New York Comic Con with a day of art programming in collaboration IDW!

This event will take place in person at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL) on the 7th Floor.

This is the registration page for the session with Nick Bertozzi (Karmopolis).

Welcome to a world on wheels! It’s nonstop excitement in this nutty graphic novel starring two kids in a fast-paced future.

Karmopolis is a world made up of super-highways and super-vehicles! Drivers zip from their wheeled houses to the moving super-mall without ever touching the ground, while the few mysterious Walkers skulk within the highway median. Two young Drivers, Pooja and her brother Om, are out shopping when they accidentally find a beautiful gem. After two angry men demand that they hand it over, a head-spinning adventure begins—Pooja and Om race across Karmopolis in search of the meaning of the gem, with the two creeps hot on their tailpipe.

Award-winning cartoonist Nick Bertozzi (Lewis & Clark; Shackleton: Antarctic Odyssey) combines old-fashioned comic book thrills with futuristic frenzy and super-cool diagrams in the endlessly imaginative Karmopolis: The Land of Cars.
