Arthur presents RALPH BAKSHI IN PERSON this Sat at MELTDOWN in L.A.

Legendary animator/filmmaker/artist/groundbreaker Ralph Bakshi, subject of Arik Moonhawk Roper’s appreciative pictorial/essay in Arthur No. 29, will be making a very rare L.A. appearance this Saturday, June 14 at a special Arthur-presented event at Meltdown Comics and Toys on Sunset…

Bakshi helmed WIZARDS, FRITZ THE CAT, AMERICAN POP, FIRE AND ICE, LORD OF THE RINGS, the MIGHTY MOUSE TV series and many other American filmic treasures. A rare combination of vision, integrity and talent-spotting has endeared him to generations of animators AND film fans.

Come meet who the fuss is all about.
