Posted: Oct 03 2016
Artist Kim Jung Gi and writer Jean-David Morvan collaborate on an original graphic novel depicting the life of world famous photographer Steve McCurry. The result is an incredible story about the events of 9/11 as well as a major addition to the comic world!
(French version of the book; English version will be released at the end of 2016).
You may not know the name of photographer Steve McCurry, but you definitely know his images, including his famous National Geographic magazine cover featuring the striking Afghan Girl with green eyes. But behind the iconic pictures is the story of a man who has lived through and witnessed some of the most important events of the last century, including the day the World Trade Center towers fell on 9/11. McCURRY, NY 11 SEPTEMBER 2011 tells the events of that day as well as the stories behind the photographer’s life-changing journeys to places like Afghanistan, India, Tibet, and Kuwait to take the photos that have captivated the world.
This original graphic novel by artist Kim Jung Gi and writer Jean-David Morvan includes nearly 80 of McCurry’s iconic photographs, including 8 previously unpublished!
The opening event/book signing (2016 Sketch Collection) with Kim Jung Gi & Steve McCurry will be held on Friday, October 12th continuing on Friday, October 14th with a live drawing showcase with Kim Jung Gi. The show will remain up until November 25th.
