Links: Lunch Lady, manga dads, and more

June 19, 2009 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Jarrett J. Krosoczka is serving up not one but two Lunch Lady graphic novels next month, and there are more waiting on the warming table. I interviewed him for Graphic Novel Reporter, where he discussed not just the new books but his career as a picture book creator as well.

And at Publishers Weekly Comics Week, I talk to Brian Leung about his kids’ webcomics portal Kidjutsu.

The Archie folks post another batch of previews of their upcoming comics as well as info on their September releases. And if you’re going to Wizard World Philadelphia this week, look out for Betty & Veronica writer Dan Parent, who will be in Artist’s Alley.
