Interview: Jerzy Drozd
On Saturday, June 23, and Sunday, June 24, while attending the American Library Association’s Annual Conference in Anaheim, CA, I ran around to as many of my favorite kids comics creators as I could and asked them all the exact same questions. Keep in mind, exhibit halls are crazy loud and crazy busy, so there is a lot of background noise. Let me know in the comments if you have trouble hearing anything and I’ll translate for you.
So, this Jerzy Drozd guy, he’s, like, everywhere, you know? He writes comics, teaches classes, organizes comic book conventions, and produces one of my favorite podcasts. When I saw that he had a booth in Artists Alley, I had to stop by and say hello.
