Leaping Tall Buildings @Jim Hanley’s Universe, July 25, 2012

I had the good fortune to attend one of the most entertaining panels I’ve yet seen, bringing together a range of comics professionals who were featured in the new photo-essay comics history book Leaping Tall Buildings by Christopher Irving and Seth Kushner. Chris Claremont, Larry Hama, Dean Haspiel, Kevin Colden, Simon Fraser, Matt Madden, and Joe Infurnari turned this into a riveting event as they discussed their own comics origin stories, the mementos and memories they hold onto from comics past, and where they all are headed in the near future. Hosted by Chris Irving and Seth Kushner, the event “chronicle” I did can be found on TRIP CITY, here, with photos by India Kushner. Here are a couple of my own, too.
