An Interview with Iron Circus Comics’ Publisher C. Spike Trotman
Thursday, May 5th, 12:30pm, Join online via Webex
Join us as we welcome writer, artist, and publisher, C. Spike Trotman for an online interview. Iron Circus Comics is Chicago’s largest comics publisher. Focusing on underrepresented and unique voices, Iron Circus goes beyond the typical capes and superpowers that dominate mainstream comics. Trotman has brought together creators that are reshaping the storytelling and the business of comics. And they are doing it right here in Chicagoland! As the Chicago Tribune puts it, ““C. Spike Trotman is a force in the world of independent comics.”
