Graphic Novelism Podcast

Great interview with Jamar Nicholas! Give it a listen!

or "What's so funny about peace, love, and diversity?"

In this special team-up episode of Graphic Novelism, the experts on nothing real welcome their very first guest, multiple award-winning writer and artist Jamar Nicholas! They talk about the importance of comic books in a child's life, the distressing decline of all-ages books in today's adult-slanted market, reclaiming that missing balance, and how Jamar is doing his own part at curbing this harmful trend with his creator-owned title, "Leon, Protector Of The Playground"! Just why is a medium designed to make children happy turning it’s back on them? How important is it for kids to see heroes that look like them? And who IS the mysterious Japanese man living in Jamar’s computer? To find out, well, you'll just have to listen!

MegaCon Tampa Bay -

From Rich: While not specifically a Comic Book Diner appearance, this weekend, on Saturday and Sunday, you can find me at MegaCon Tampa Bay. http://megacontampabay.com

This is kind of a last minute thing, but my friend Matt Haley invited me to join him at his table this weekend, so I thought I'd check it out. I'll be there on Saturday from around noon until closing, and all day Sunday. I'll have some of my original artwork, Roboy Red and Buzzboy books, and probably some other stuff for sale too. If you're in the area, please stop by and say hi! I haven't done a convention in four years, so this is a rare occurrence! Hope to see you there!
