24-Hour Prion People

I'm a comics writer and political psychologist. My comics have been published in anthologies like Popgun, Comic Book Tattoo, and 24seven, all (coincidentally) put out by Image Comics.


Tracy Williams and I collaborate on Goodbye Chains, a Western comic noir about the early days of the American labor movement and its intersectionality with the technology of the time. (Translated, it's about a Communist who blows things up.) When I draw comics, it turns out like this--which is to say, oddly.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

webslinging:

This is an audio clip of Dan Didio at SDCC.  Someone in the audience asked him why the percentage of women on DC’s creative team dropped from 12% to 1%.  His response is “What do these numbers mean to you?” and “Who should we be hiring?”  I know most of you have read a transcript of the discussion, but you should probably listen to this.  I know I imagined a more sarcastic/inquisitive tone on “Who should we be hiring?” so hearing how aggressive he sounds is just.  Wow.  I would’ve been incredibly uncomfortable had I witnessed this first hand.

I’m pretty sure credit for the audio clip goes to DCWKA, but I could be wrong.

Remember ladies, just submit and you’ll totally get a job! I AM SURE THAT IS HOW IT WILL GO.
