The Illustrator + Batman Returns

Join us for a special event celebrating the life and work of Tulsa artist Steve Erwin! Sat 8/1, see a new short film The Illustrator from director Todd Kent about Steve's art and legacy, followed by a Q&A with Todd and more guests to be announced. Part of Steve's work with DC Comics included the art for the official Batman Returns adaptation, so after the short we'll play the classic 1992 film back on the big screen! Plus, come early for extras in the lobby starting at 5pm with comic displays, vendors, and more. The Q&A with The Illustrator will be moderated by Jimmie Tramel, Tulsa World pop culture writer and a lifelong comic fan.

Tickets on sale now, $13 Circle members and $15 non-members.
