It’s a brand new month so let’s celebrate a new local indie artist!
Join us on Saturday June 24th for the next installment of the Forbidden Planet Indie Creator Spotlight!
This month meet artist/writer Nick Forker and check out his self published series Eyeland! In 2022 Nick pushed himself to release a full length monthly comic and succeed for 10 issues in a row, not an easy feat for the big publishers, let alone an indie guy doing it all himself. What came forth is a surreal slice of absurd life, as funny as it is real, with a beautiful yet quirky illustration style. Eyeland is more than a comic, it’s an experience! So get in here and live it.
The event will be from 1PM to 7PM so swing in to check out Nick’s work, grab some issues of Eyeland and feel good about supporting local creators!
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.
