Join The Free Library Art Department for the launch of Don’t Look Into The Abyss, a new graphic novel illustrated and published by Bryn Ziegler. Ziegler is a book and comic artist specializing in intimate, interactive books exploring themes of queerness. Don’t Look Into The Abyss is a single-player choose-your-path game with a simple premise: you are an adventurer traveling through a vast expanse. You must find your path while confronting the elements, traversing the stars, and most importantly… avoiding The Abyss. However, Don’t Look Into The Abyss also has a number of secrets that make it a unique experience.

The event will open with a conversation between Bryn Ziegler and Joshua Abraham Kopin, followed by a book signing. Kopin received his PhD from the University of Texas at Austin. He has published on comics in Keywords for Comics Studies and the journals American Literature, Inks, and the Journal of Comics and Culture. He lives and works in Philadelphia.

There will also be a curated display from the Free Library's Philadelphia Comics Collection on view during the event, and a companion bookbinding workshop on June 29th.
