Get Real

Jon Maki, President and Publisher

Just popping in to quickly share a link to a goood article on a relevant topic by Laura Hudson at Wired:

It’s Time to Get Real About Racial Diversity in Comics

“The alternative and independent comics scene is leaps and bounds ahead of the big publishers, as usual, and that’s where the real action is happening,” agrees Trotman. “The diversity in perspective and storytelling in the small press scene is incredible. Right now, I honestly suggest anyone looking for comics by black creators skip the mainstream entirely and investigate webcomics. It’s as easy as browsing a Tumblr tag.”

And hopefully someday soon it will be as easy as visiting OpenDoor Comics.

Born and raised in the sparsely-populated Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Jon Maki developed an enduring love for comics at an early age.
