“Arlen Schumer is one of the country’s preeminent authorities on comics and culture.”
— ABC-TV’s 20/20
“Arlen Schumer’s thesis on The Twilight Zone transcends pop culture and brushes the underbelly of high art.”
— The New York Times, “The Synergy of Art and The Twilight Zone”
“What sets Arlen Schumer’s ‘VisuaLectures’ on comics apart is his acute understanding of graphic design. His delivery—like the superhero stories he’s discussing—is a dynamic synergy of words and images, of form and function.”
— Print magazine, “Arlen Schumer’s VisuaLectures: Where Comics Scholarship Meets Design Showmanship”
“Arlen Schumer’s multimedia presentation, with visuals, music, and his powerful narrative descriptions, blew me away!
It’s the best all-purpose panel about comics as an art form I’ve ever attended. The man has showmanship down pat. He expressed beautifully what I have felt for many years. If you ever get a chance to hear Arlen talk about comics, do it!”
