Jamal Igle and Kelly Dale Join Action Lab Entertainment


Action Lab Entertainment is going through some changes. Fear not though, as the changes are for the better and are of the organizational variety. Those changes are that Jamal Igle and Kelly Dale are joining the publisher's marketing team alongside current Social Media Director Jim Dietz. The duo will be replacing outgoing Marketing Director Jeremy Whitley, who's moving into a role as Education Outreach Director. Igle will handle the company’s public relations and promotions duties, working directly with the press and convention organizers. Dale will be in charge of retailer outreach, working with the company’s talent to arrange signings, working with our retail partners to develop promotional programming.

"This is another fabulous step forward for Action Lab," says president Kevin Freeman. "Kelly and Jamal bring valuable experience in marketing, the comic book industry, and networking to our fold. I have little doubt that our brand coverage will explode thanks to these two."

Dale is a psychologist with the Paulding County School District and voted the Top Psychologist in Georgia in 2012, and has also spent several years as a modeling instructor for Barbizon Modeling and Talent. Igle is a 24-year comic industry veteran and creator of Molly Danger, published by Action Lab. Igle started as an Intern in DC Comics in 1989, and has become one of the most popular and prolific pencillers in the comic book industry. Igle is an Inkpot award-winning artist and writer. Best known for his run on Supergirl with writer Sterling Gates, Jamal has been a professional jack of all trades for nearly 20 years, drawing every title from Action Comics to Zatanna for DC Comics. Igle has also been a former comics retailer, editor for several small press companies, a former junior art director and marketing rep in the advertising and publishing arenas, with clients including Marvel Comics, Image Comics, Dark Angel Productions/ Simmons and Company, Dark Horse Comics, Devil's Due Studios, IDW Publishing, Walt Disney inc., Sony Television, CBS Television, Warner Bros.
