Local comic, K. Thor Jensen, shares first work in 10 years

K. Thor Jensen is presenting his latest comic, from 2-4 p.m., Saturday, May 6. To hear have an extra bit of fun meeting Thor, purchase a copy of “Cloud Stories” and he’ll draw your portrait in the aspect of a cloud.

“Cloud Stores” is the first new collection of comics by K. Thor Jensen in 10 years. A thematically-connected journey through the upper atmosphere, it veers wildly between slapstick comedy, creeping horror and otherworldly fantasy. Drawn in a staggering array of visual styles, this is a collection, unlike anything you’ve ever read.

K. Thor Jensen is a writer and cartoonist who lives on San Juan Island with his family. He has been cartooning professionally since 1993, with work appearing in the Seattle Times, the Stranger and dozens of anthologies. His original artwork resides by special request in the Library of Congress, and his last book “Red Eye, Black Eye” was chosen as one of the best graphic novels of the year by the “Comics Journal.”
