Mission Comics & Art: Fred Noland Signing!

Join us is welcoming local artist Fred Noland and his new book OUR LITTLE WILD TIME!
“The first collection of short graphic stories by the veteran cartoonist, this volume features the best of the author’s short works.
A dark corner of a rail car, on the underside of a motel mattress, find the spot where the depraved and the absurd bump lyrical uglies. In this collection of short stories, portraits, and graphic biography and commentary, Fred Noland embarks on a tour through the unreal, hilarious, and often very real dimensions of the seedier side of human nature.
In the lead story “Midnight Creep,” a supernatural southern gothic steeped in blues folklore, the devil is hot on a killer’s heels. Angel dust is in the air in the cyclical and comedic “Dusted.” Other attractions include an ode to the iconoclastic expressionist George Grosz, cholos playing putt putt, and more.”
Fred Noland’s specialty is visual storytelling, whether in animation, comics, or illustration. Noland’s comics have appeared in the New Yorker, Popula and the East Bay Express. His illustrations have appeared in LA Weekly, Nickelodeon Jr., Xbox Magazine, Revolver, Canoe & Kayak and more. He was the chief artist on the animated short series “Priced Out” which has been shown world-wide. His graphic novel biography about turn-of-the-century champion cyclist Major Taylor is scheduled for release from Drawn & Quarterly in 2026.
Fred lives in Oakland, California, where he is an avid but unremarkable cyclist and a proud poppa.
