What does KC have in common with Sin City? Both are subjects of blood-soaked critically acclaimed graphic novels. Union Station author Ande Parks may not be as famous as Frank Miller, but the Baldwin City, Kansas, writer and artist is on his way up. In 2006, his Capote in Kansas became the first graphic novel deemed a Notable Book by the state. And Ciudad, Parks’ next work, due out this fall, has already been optioned by Paramount Pictures. Hear Parks talk about the business of graphic novels at 6:30 p.m. at the Kansas City Central Library (14 West 10th Street). Call 816-701-3407 to make a reservation or see kclibrary.org.
