Interview: Andrew Aydin
From Wednesday, July 17 through Sunday, July 21, 2013, while attending the San Diego International Comic-Con, 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 there you are, working schlub by day, comic book guy by night, when all of a sudden you’re tapped by your boss to help him write his memoir. Nightmare, right? Not if your job is Congressional staffer to Senator John Lewis and the memoir turns out to be March. I can’t even begin to do this story justice here. Listen to Andrew tell the story. It’s way better coming from him.
