Trinidad Escobar and Maia Kobabe are two talented artists and writers with MA degrees in “Comics" from the California College of Arts, who create distinctively different comic books and graphic novels. This is a very visual medium so you may want to accompany today’s conversation by viewing some of the comics online. Maia has shared her work at museums, galleries, libraries and conventions from coast to coast, and host Gil Mansergh believes she is the only Word By Word guest to have been a visiting cartoonist at the Charles Schulz Museum and a panelist at Kraken Con. Her long comics The Thief’s Tale and Tom O’Bedlam are available in print and online, at http://redgoldsparkspress.com
and Trinidad’s in-progress graphic-memoir, CRUSHED, is a "biomythography that explores the interior landscape of her experiences as a magickal transnational adoptee, and the intersecting worlds of Western science and Filipino spirituality." CRUSHED will be published in 2017, but excerpts are accessible online at www.wearegazillionstrong.org
