The Killing Fields of East New York: Book Talk with Stacy Horn
East New York, once a thriving working-class neighborhood on its way up, has the highest number of unsolved murders in New York City. Why?
When you think of comics, you probably think of New York, too. And that’s no accident. The city has often been the setting for writers and stories in this genre, in part because it was for so many decades a central node for segments of the industry. In this Insiders event, you’ll learn more about this history, in conversation with Martin Lund, an historian at Malmö University in Sweden, whose research explores the representation of New York City in comics and the ‘special relationship’ between NYC and comics, so often suggested in fandom, pop culture, and scholarship.
