So come with your questions (even those filled with tea or shade!) and let’s talk about nerdy drag! Moderated by Crimson Kitty (Mx. Nerd NY 2018) and special guest Erika Klash

    Comics give rise to a uniquely adept storytelling Titan - the writer/artist. This gift granted from the realm of the art gods bestows upon an individual the ability to engulf a reader in a sole vision of artistic literature. The writer-artist unifies two worlds; merging the written word and the image reveals an all-encompassing solitary window into the magical realm of a singular mind's imagination. The divine crown of writer/artist transcends both worlds allowing for an exclusively intimate connection between creator and reader by affixing two minds through the path of least resistance. Familiar titanous landscapes include: The beat streets of Will Eisner. The Haunted Realms of Mike Mignola. The blood-stained cities of Frank Miller. The Galactic Battlescapes of the King himself Jack Kirby. Distinct to each of these creations is the irreplaceable thumbprint of their creator's vision.
