Born the same year that a UFO allegedly crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, Oliver Christianson has always been inspired by the paranormal. He collected clippings about Bigfoot and other strange sightings as a kid. Now 61, the local cartoonist has devoted a whole book of art to his favorite subjects — "ghosties, flying saucers, mummies and werewolves, and all the other things that go bump in the night," says Christianson. A master humor artist for Hallmark who signs his works "Revilo," he will autograph copies of Unknown Worlds! at Barnes & Noble (420 West 47th Street, 816-753-1313) at 6 p.m.
