Moana Nui & Blerdography Present Blerdkast LIVE: Black Atlanta Comic Expo

In this week’s episode of Blerdkast Live, we sit with the founders of B.A.C.E. Greg Burnham and Melony Isaac tell us all the details about Atlanta’s newest black owned comic convention. Find out who the featured guest will be, workshops and panels and so much more. Greg Burnham is a comic book/children's book writer out of Norcross, Georgia. Along with illustrator Marcus Williams, his YA science fiction adventure comic series, Tuskegee Heirs, burst on to the Black comix scene, soon to become a fan favorite and winner of two Glyph Awards. Subsequently, Burnham has written comics for FairSquare Graphics (Little Rock Files ), as well as stories for DC Comics : "The Spoils" (Ghouls #1 ) featuring Superman; "Ablution" New Talent Showcase: The Milestone Initiative #1 featuring Icon; and "Fair Play" (DC Power ) starring Mr. Terrific. The Search for Sadiqah is Greg's' first project with Rosarium Publishing. Havana Nguyen is the Lead Character Artist for the sci-fi drama graphic novel Kamikaze. Inspired by animators such as Glen Keane and Bruce Timm, she began drawing when she was three and started selling art at conventions by 17. She joined co-creators Carrie and Alan Tupper on the series in 2012. In addition to drawing the characters, she also assists with the marketing, story editing, and speaks on panels about creating comics. Kamikaze has won the 2015 Glyph Award for Best Webcomic, achieved funding through three successful Kickstarters, and has been featured on NPR, Bleeding Cool, SyFy Wire, and The Hollywood Reporter.
