I just handed in...
…the hardest paper I’ve ever written. I am now enjoying cocktails from my favorite bartender in Boston. If you can make it to the Financial District, give me a buzz and I’ll get you one!
I will be at Boston Comic Con, as Zatanna, by hook or by crook!
Now, whose books shall I dig for in quarter bins and $5 trade boxes?

Blond child to her mother while watching brown skinned & black haired me fly a kite at the beach: “Mommy, she looks like one of the bad guys.” Over and over again, getting louder and more insistent despite mother’s shushing.
August 2010, Ocracoke Island (North Carolina). This made me feel brown.

dcwomenkickingass:
Since its launch in 1999, DC Comic’s Birds of Prey has carved out an important role in comics. Beyond the strong writing, beyond showcasing two pioneering and iconic female characters - Dinah Lance, the Black Canary and Barbara Gordon, now Oracle and formerly the Silver/Bronze Age Batgirl, it is generally recognized as being an on-ramp for many women into the world of...

Of course, I know the Big Two's business strategy...
But I carry a pipe dream that someday comics will be like prose— where the movie sells the books.

I’m looking for (very, very abridged) “breaking in” stories for writers and...

You can find several interviews with both Mike and Laura Allred together, but few rarely focus on Laura solely.
