Representing at Rose City Comic Con
On September 10th, Angela Frome, Angela Jarvis-Holland, Shannon Wheeler, Martin Thomas, Maria Rangel, Daniel Jarvis-Holland, and Mike Rosen gave the presentation “How to Turn a Pandemic into a Great Comic” at the Rose City Comic Convention.
The group emphasized presenting the issues around COVID-19 in an accessible and fun way, available in English and Spanish, and the importance of portraying the story's hero in a wheelchair.
By any measure, the comics were a success, with over 170,000 issues distributed throughout Oregon and Washington!
Grants from both the Oregon Health Authority and Washington Department of Health provided the funding to create and distribute the comics.
