From the catalogues of the National Library of Australia comes a genre-defying evening of live graphic storytelling.

Join us for an evening of intimate stories with big pictures from national and local comic makers and graphic storytellers. Featuring non-fiction stories about bathrooms or funny stories about death told by storytellers from the Comic Arts Workshop and the local Canberra comics community, this will be an evening of diverse storytelling reflecting the variety of stories found in the catalogue of the National Library.

This event is presented by Read To Me, the influential Sydney-based, live graphic storytelling event that for 10 years has been platforming the art of comics and graphic storytelling to national and international audiences.

It’s on Friday 13th. What’s the worst that can happen?
