A few weeks ago our Hero Jeyodin, the creator behind the fan favorite Hammer, had the honor of chatting with some youngsters over at Taft H.S. Library. He taught them a thing or two about the comic book industry, and the manga making process. This is what it’s all about! Helping to shape the future creatives of this and the next generation. Saturday AM’s commitment to diversity means working with young creators to offer support, experience, & positivity!
Jey had this to say about his experience:
“It was really fun! Got to talk to a class of seniors, I believe. They were all very interested in what I was saying and it seemed to be very helpful for them.”
The staff and members of the comic book club were very grateful to Jey for taking the time to talk with them – sharing their appreciation on Twitter:
