FLOATING WORLD COMICS & ORANGE SUNSHINE PRESENTS:

"THE LAND OF BROKEN HEARTS"

A RARE EXHIBITION OF ARTWORK BY AL COLUMBIA

Floating World Comics presents a rare and exclusive opportunity to view

new work by the acclaimed and elusive artist Al Columbia. September?s

first Thursday will see the debut of ?THE LAND OF BROKEN HEARTS,? marking

the first public exhibition and appearance by the enigmatic artist in over

a decade. The exhibition will feature a large collection of limited

edition prints, original artwork, handmade books, and other ephemera from

his Orange Sunshine Company, much of it created especially for this show.

The artist will also participate in an informal Q&A during the event.

"THE LAND OF BROKEN HEARTS" is a new series of illustrations that serves

as a preview for a new collection of work that Columbia will release in

2008 from Seattle?s Fantagraphics Books. Floating World will have all of

Columbia?s published works to date on hand at the event, including The

Biologic Show, Blab!, Mome, and Zero Zero.

The opening night reception will be documented on film by Kevin Belli, a

Boston filmmaker who has been creating the documentary "Whatever Happened

to Al Columbia?" over the last four years.

LISTING INFORMATION:

WHO: Al Columbia and ?The Land of Broken Hearts?

WHAT: Opening Reception & Book Signing with the artist

WHEN: Thursday, Sept. 6th, 6-10PM

?The Land of Broken Hearts? runs through Oct. 2

Floating World Comics is greatly honored to host Columbia, who will be

visiting from his home in Connecticut. ?I've been a fan of Al Columbia's

since I first read his groundbreaking masterpiece, ?The Trumpets They

Play?,? says Floating World Founder Jason Leivian. Published in the

anthology Blab! Vol. 10 in 1998, ?The Trumpets They Play? has been hailed

as one of the great short stories the comics medium has ever produced,

retelling the story of the apocalypse from the Book of Revelations in a

style that looked like stills from a 1930s Max Fleischer cartoon. The

story caused an instant stir, and comics fans couldn't wait to see what

Columbia would do next. Unfortunately, after ?Trumpets? was released,

Columbia more or less disappeared from the comics scene. This show will

end a 9 year silence for him and offers his fans a very rare opportunity

to meet him in person.

If you are interested in obtaining an interview or providing coverage of

this event please contact Jason Leivian. A selection of digital imagery is

also available in a variety of formats.
