Smithtown Building Closed

Due to the storm that occurred during the early morning hours of August 19, which caused torrential flooding, our Smithtown Building suffered catastrophic damage to its lower level. Therefore, until further notice, our Smithtown Building will be closed while we continue to rebuild.  Our other three buildings remain open to assist our patrons. For updates, click here

Program Description

Event Details

Join Glenn Greenberg for a discussion of the history of the comic-book industry and the evolution of comics. Learn how over the years the industry almost disappeared, how it survived and is now fueling some of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters. Glenn will discuss how he started out as a fan and eventually landed a job at Marvel as a writer and editor, working on some of their most popular characters and how that led to freelance work in entertainment journalism which includes coverage of comics and comic-related properties.
