The Knight Life
Bay Area Spotlight on Keith Knight
June 14 - November 9, 2008

The Cartoon Art Museum is honored to host the first comprehensive exhibition of Harvey and Glyph Award-winning cartoonist Keith Knight, creator of the K Chronicles, (th)ink and the new United Features syndicated daily comic strip The Knight Life

The exhibition, co-sponsored by Dark Horse, coincides with the release of The Complete K Chronicles (Dark Horse/$24.95), the 500 page omnibus collection that incorporates the first four K Chronicles compendiums (three of which are out of print).

Keith Knight, a Bay Area institution whose move to Los Angeles left a gaping whole in the S.F. reprobate and indie comics community, will dig deep into his vast catalog of original artwork for this retrospective. The K Chronicles, (th)ink, the brand new daily comic strip The Knight Life, his work for Mad Magazine and ESPN: The Magazine, Marginal Prophets poster and album art, plus some early high school and college work will be represented in the exhibit.

Information regarding the official reception for this exhibition will be announced shortly.
