Celebrate Creativity and Comics at Kids Comics LA

As with any medium it's important to get potential talent while they're young. I mean, how else can you raise a kid to be the best at something if you're not pushing and obsessing over their every bit of devotion to the act? Archaia is trying to buck that trend with an activity that teaches kids about making comics without being overbearing and getting kicked off the soccer field.

At Kids Comics LA on December 4 at Meltdown Comics (LA), kids will meet and interact with comic creators and learn how to make their own comic books. There will be two seminars will help the aspiring creators understand the basics of making their own comics, with one session focused on creating characters and one focused on comic book storytelling. The creators participating in Kids Comics L.A. include Sam Humphries (Fraggle Rock, Archaia Comics), Ian Brill (Darkwing Duck and Rescue Rangers, BOOM! Kids Comics), Dave Server and Jackson Lansing (Penguins of Madagascar, Ape Entertainment), and Chris and Shane Houghton (Reed Gunther, Independent).

If that's not enough, Los Angeles' own famous Grilled Cheese Truck will be on hand all day to feed comics lovers of all ages with that cheesy goodness. Mmm. Grilled cheese sandwich truck. The event is all ages and free, so if you're in the area this weekend definitely check it out. Full press release after the jump.
