Let’s embark on a journey through the wonderful history of comic books. We will begin by exploring this popular art form—tracing its evolution from distant origins to the present day, and from potential prehistoric precursors to its virtually limitless commercial reach in today's world.
We will then examine the massive "Ninth Art" industry, looking at its development from the 19th century to the present, its key players, and its striking socio-economic impact on the global cultural stage.
Regarding the presenter: With over 30 years of experience as a painter and editorial illustrator, Luc Alain is a versatile artist. He brings canvases and sketchpads to life through the visual arts in all their forms. Whether working with acrylics, charcoal, pastels, or tools such as black markers and graphite, he captivates and entertains his audience while inviting them to reflect. His work is as varied as it is surprising, exploring the human form to reveal his vision of strength and fragility. He is an active member of several artist associations: BRAVO in Ottawa, La Fab sur Mill in Chelsea, and CACO and AVG in Gatineau.
