Tales from the Wolf - A Signing with Tony Wolf

  • East Side Mags 491 Bloomfield Avenue Montclair, NJ, 07042 United States (map)

“I thoroughly enjoyed Tony Wolf’s TALES FROM THE WOLF. I’m a huge fan of independent creators; artists who tell stories culled from real life & personal experience. Tony’s work absolutely stands alongside that of Robert Crumb, Linda Barry and Harvey Pekar.”

- Bill Sienkiewicz, Eisner Awards Hall of Fame & Emmy Award-nominated artist

Seriously? Bill Sienkiewicz? If Bill’s quote about Tony’s book doesn’t sell you that this is a graphic novel that you MUST have then I don’t know if anything will. Invoking the creative juices of some of comics most legendary creators like Crumb, Barry and Pekar while still maintaining an “every-person” sensibility and connection to all our lives - Tony is really dialed in on what makes us “human”.

Tony takes us through key points in his life that any of us could have lived or can relate to or can associate with and includes short stories about being an Alpha Flight fan or calling in to vote for the Death of Jason Todd Robin - even stuff like talking about his favorite pizza spot in Brooklyn, the Tartufo (a dessert) or the McRib! Plus a ton of awesome fan art, some political comics and more!

About the book:

New York Times comics creator Tony Wolf debuts his new paperback comics collection, TALES FROM THE WOLF!  Published by Cosmic Lion Productions, this 220-page book (for just $20!) contains true stories written & drawn from 23 years living in the same Greenpoint, Brooklyn apartment, as well as stories for the NYT about unique food history, a visual account of how Tony personally voted to kill the Jason Todd Robin, and more!

Tony's comics have also been featured in Vulture / New York Magazine, on NY1 News, Gothamist, Comics Beat, and UK site Broken Frontier!  Tony is also a lifelong actor, with co-star credits on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Blacklist & on Comedy Central.

Well there you have it - Tony Wolf is the true triple threat: actor, writer, artist.
