Please read the past three week’s installments before reading this. Thanks! What has gone before, quick and dirty recap… I’d sold (in my opinion) the second greatest idea in the history of comics to one of the greatest publishers (DC Comics) in the business. It was to be written by one of the greatest writersÂÂ…
Please read the last twoweek’s installments before reading this. Thanks! What has gone before, quick and dirty recap… I’d sold (in my opinion) the second greatest idea in the history of comics to one of the greatest publishers in the business.

Please read last week’s installment before reading this. Thanks! What has gone before – the quick and dirty recap. 1999: I pitched and sold what I consider the greatest idea I’ve ever come up with to DC Comics. Before I pitched the idea I checked with three of the best writers in the industry, Keith…
I’m convinced that there comes a time in every creator’s career when he or she has that one project that becomes the project. Be they a writer, artist, photographer, director or whatever, there comes a time when said creator realizes without a shadow of a doubt that they have created their baby. Their triumph. Their…
I’ve seen the light. I’ve seen the future of comics. I had a meeting yesterday with a company that is going to change the game on the net and can change for comics and creators. I’ve haven’t been this excited since I was 17 and my very first real girlfriend Yvonne Stallworth said, “My parents…
A few weeks ago my dear friend Lisha invited me to a dinner party. I hate dinner parties. I especially hate those where I don’t know the majority of people at the table. I hate them with a passion. I’d rather sit at home alone with a bowl of Frosted Flakes watching movies than attend…
I am the proud owner of two, that’s right two original pieces of Moebius art. It’s a big deal and it’s not a big deal. It’s a big deal because Moebius is one of the greatest artists ever. Period. It’s not a big deal because hundreds, maybe even thousands, have an original piece of Moebius…

The show will held at the Geppi Entertainment Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. It’s my goal to make this the most comprehensive showing of black comic…
I don’t get it. The San Diego Comic Con is a yearly event. Every year for almost 20 years (since I was 5, Jean) like clockwork I give a party at Comic Con. Every year like clockwork I host a dinner at Comic Con. Every year like clockwork I host The Black Panel at Comic…
Officially, I’ve worked in comics since 1983. In all that time I think I’ve only met one black woman who was involved in comics in a decision-making capacity. I’ve known black woman receptionists and assistants but I can only think of one who had a job in which she was part of the comic book…
