Forbidden Planet is closing out our 2023 Indie Creator Spotlight on Saturday December 9th from 5 to 7PM with one heck of a line up. We got three heavy hitters ready to both razzle and dazzle you with their combined creative output! Local comic legend Josh Bayer will be celebrating the release of the original graphic novel Unended, one of his most epic and personal pieces of work yet. Nick Forker just dropped the interactive tabletop gaming inspired Make Yourself A Hero as well as a brand new issue of his ongoing series Eyeland, which just so happens to have a cover by everyone’s favorite Nun obsessed artist Corinne Halbert, who also recently self published a zine of beautifully executed and totally psycho-delic Acid Nun paintings. So come by and meet these three unstoppable independent artists all with brand spanking new books, ready to inspire you to be the next creator spotlighted right here at Forbidden Planet NYC.
Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
