You’d have to be a seasoned comic art aficionado to recognize the name Alex Niño. Even when he was his most prolific you’d have had to be reading comics like Heavy Metal, Creepy, and The Savage Sword of Conan in the 70’s and early 80’s. Unfortunately all the innovative comic art at that time was pushed to the fringe titles. And Niño’s work was clearly before his time.
This November the Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn (of all places) is hosting a month long exhibit dedicated to his work. I’m hoping to trek out and catch some of this amazing work first-hand.
November 4th - 30th
Opening reception November 4th - 2-4pm (no mention if the artist will be present)
