Rand Holmes Retrospective This Weekend
:: Posted by Bryan @ 3/15/2007 12:05:00 AM 
Rand Holmes, Canadian underground comics genius, is the subject of a retrospective in BC this weekend, March 17 & 18.
The exhibit is bing organized by Holmes' family and Patrick Rosencranz, underground comics historian and author of Rebel Visions (he also wrote a great article about Holmes for Comic Art magazine). Long before artists like Dave Cooper, Chester Brown, Valium or Julie Doucet, Holmes was creating scabrous, taboo-defying, quality comics. Holmes left behind thousands of pages of comic art that document the underground era. Art from Vancouver underground newspapers, advertising, rock posters, underground comics, graphic novels, paintings, etc will all be on display. A rare opportunity. The exhibit is on Laqueti Island so you need to make travel arrangements.
