Katz Interviewed at Mini Indie Con

Posted on October 6, 2019 by admin

On Saturday, September 7, 2019, a bright and sunny, but crisp Autumn day, Flying Colors Comics owner and comics super fan, Joe Field (right) and legendary comic artist, Liam Sharp (left) somehow managed to interview Jack Katz as part of Mini Indie Con, an annual event held at Flying Colors.

As usual, Jack does his best to throw everyone off course and cracking up. And sometimes he gets serious as well, deadly serious. The interview is in two parts. The first covers Jack’s personal philosophy and some advice for people getting started in the comics field. The second part covers some of Jack’s history in the field. Watch both parts on FlyCoJoe’s YouTube channel here.

Thank you to both Joe and Liam and of course you can visit Flying Colors Comic superstore at flyingcolorscomics.com or the actual comics superstore at Treat Blvd. @ Oak Grove Road in Concord, California.

Liam Sharp is a multi-hyphenate beast: a writer, aritst and publisher, mostly drawing Green Lantern these days. He can also be found on Twitter @LiamRSharp or MadeFire, an exciting motion comics and augmented reality comics company where he was a co-founder at madefire.com

Jack Katz Enjoys Seeing Fans at 8th Annual Creatures Con

Posted on July 8, 2019 by admin

Jack Katz at Creatures-Con 2019Jack Katz appeared at one of his favorite local conventions, the eighth annual Creatures Con at the San Ramon Marriott. This is a smallish and friendly show where the fans are really devoted and passionate. You can spend a lot of quality time talking about comics, graphic novels, horror movies and whatever. Jack says, “After nearly two and a half years in my ‘cave,’ telescoping my 7500 page graphic novel into a mere 500 pages, it was good to get out and spend time with comics and graphic novel fans.” And the fans seemed very engaged as well. They got to meet one of the last standing Golden Age Artists. Jack was, of course, drawing all day, including a few convention sketches. The ten hour day flew by fast. Jack took a couple of quick Katz naps when most of the attendees were watching stuff in the screening room. He stays up all night drawing. Why would he make any exception the night before a convention. As they say, “Time waits for no man,” and these days time is one of Jack’s most precious commodities.
