Description:

I’m happy to be back at MexAmeriCon this Día de los Muertos weekend, celebrating Latinx comics, culture, and community at the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center in Austin. I’ll be tabling and signing books throughout the day, so please come by to say hola and talk comics, film, and storytelling.

At 1:25 PM I’ll read from my children’s book Con Papá / With Papá, illustrated by Nicky Rodriguez, as part of the festival’s Sábado en Familia programming. Bring the whole familia for storytime.

My table will have a range of my work, including my two newest books:

• Touchdown! Latinos Breaking Through the NFL’s White Lines, with Christopher González

• Two Vatos Talk Pop Cultura: Latinx TV, Film, and Futures Unscripted, with Peter Murrieta

You’ll also find these, along with other titles:

• Through Fences, illustrated by Oscar Garza

• The Absolutely (Almost) True Adventures of Max Rodriguez

• From Cocinas to Lucha Libre Ringsides: A Latinx Comics Anthology, co-edited with Angela M. Sánchez

• Pyroclast

• Labyrinths Borne

• The Adventures of Chupacabra Charlie

• LatinX TV

I’m happy to sign books you bring from home, too.

MexAmeriCon is presented with support from the City of Austin’s Arts, Culture, Music, and Entertainment Department and LUPE Arte.
