"Comix aren't just for comix readers anymore."

http://media.libsyn.com/media/wordballoon/WBdeanhaspiel08.mp3

John Siuntres was kind enough to interview me this week over the phone for his excellent comix podcast website, Word Balloon, where I discuss digital comix, my Eisner Award nominated Billy Dogma, Street Code, Next-Door Neighbor, my collaborations with Jonathan Ames on THE ALCOHOLIC, Jeff Parker on X-MEN FIRST CLASS, and my upcoming kids book, MO & JO: FIGHTING TOGETHER FOREVER, with underground comix legend, Jay Lynch, for Francoise Mouly's Toon Books, and much more. The podcast runs 54:25.

Here’s a peek:

Teachers & Writers magazine

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 17:35:47 GMT

Probably not worth posting at the "official" ACT-I-VATE site, but this is a cute one-pager I did for Teachers & Writers magazine, a journal I just happen to be the designer for! Taken from an idea by T&W mag editor Susan Karwoska, it illustrates the special issue inside, "Comics In The Classroom."
