Comics editor Scott Allie will speak at NECC.<\/p><\/div>\n

Noted comics writer and editor Scott Allie will appear at Northern Essex Community College on Tuesday, March 25th, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the David Hartleb Technology Center on the Haverhill campus, 100 Elliott St. This event is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

Allie will discuss the day-to-day responsibilities of being an editor for the third largest comic book publisher. \u201cI will start with my self-designed independent concentration on comics at Bradford College under Marc Mannheimer, through to my role as editor-in-chief at \u201cDark Horse Comics,\u201d he says. This will\u00a0include the step-by-step process of collaborating on a comic from pitch to final lettered colors,\u201d says<\/p>\n

Currently editor-in-chief of \u201cDark Horse Comics\u201d<\/a> where he has worked since 1994, Allie will be in residence at NECC through March 27 funded by a grant from the NECC Foundation<\/a> and sponsored by the Art and Design Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He will speak to the students in the \u201cArt and Literature of the Graphic Novel\u201d Learning Community taught by NECC professors Ginger Hurajt and Marc Mannheimer, who taught Allie back in the 1990s at Bradford College.<\/p>\n

He is long-time editor of writers Mike Mignola, Joss Whedon, and co-writes the ongoing \u201cAbe Sapien\u201d series with Mignola, who created the character. Allie grew up in Ipswich and currently lives in Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n

The second half of the presentation will focus on a very specific approach to telling a story in comics, focusing on examples from the wide world of “Hellboy” comics by Mike Mignola and his collaborators.<\/p>\n

For additional information contact Marc Mannheimer at mmannheimer@necc.mass.edu<\/a><\/p>\n

NECC offers an associate degree in General Studies: Art which allows\u00a0students to focus on a specific area of the arts, such as fine arts, multi-media, photography, or visual communications, while providing the\u00a0flexibility to explore and experience the breadth of the arts. Students looking to\u00a0transfer into a\u00a0bachelor\u2019s degree program, graduate\u00a0from NECC with the
foundation needed to be successful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
