Art & Story 081 – The Big Green Brain

It’s another interview episode, this time with one of the organizers behind the Kids Read Comics Convention that I’ve been talking a bit about lately.

Dan Merritt of Green Brain Comics sits down with us for an hour to discuss the business of comics from the comics store proprietor’s standpoint, where the industry is headed, what the recent Diamond announcements mean for folks him, as well as what projects like Comics Monkey could mean for folks like him.

And by the way, Mark and I will have a table at Green Brain Comics (Here’s a map) on Free Comic Book Day, May 2nd! We’ll be handing out free editions of our comics, signing books, and broadcasting a live show from the event. I hope some of you will come out to see us there. Keep your eye on the Green Brain Comics website, and on this one, for more details.

More photos can be found on our Flickr Page.

And don’t forget to check out the Kids Read Comics website if you want to be a part of the event!
