Miami Book Fair International has provided ROBOT 6 with an exclusive first look at Paul Pope's Generation Genius Days poster created for the 30th annual event. That of course is the artist's own Battling Boy reading J.R.R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring while surrounded by monsters (the graphic novel debuts Oct. 8 from First Second).

Held Nov. 17-24 at Miami Dade MDC’s Wolfson Campus in downtown Miami, this year's fair will commemorate 500 years since Ponce de Leon landed in Florida by celebrating Spain's culture literature. Famed Spanish comic artist Francesc Capdevila, better known as Max, created the event's official poster.

The nation's largest literary gathering, Miami Book Fair International includes as part of its programming Generation Genius Days (Nov. 21-24), which features learning and literacy activities for children and teens.
