For the conclusion of Diamond Comic Distributors Retailer Summit and for the opening of Geppi’s Entertainment Museum’s new exhibit 75 Spirited Years: Will Eisner and The Spirit on Friday, September 25, 2015 – four top creators were asked to provide their interpretations of a concept sketch that had been created by Eisner but never before finished.
One of those creators was Mark Wheatley, the Inkpot, Mucker, Gem, Speakeasy, and Eisner award-winning writer-artist perhaps best known for his successful and often cutting-edge collaborations with fellow writer-artist Marc Hempel. Wheatley will see his piece based on Eisner’s sketch featured on the cover of a limited edition of Overstreet’s Comic Book Marketplace Yearbook 2015-2016. This version will be given to retailers who attend the closing party for the Retailer Summit, which is also the official kick-off of the Eisner exhibit.
“I’m thrilled to have been asked to posthumously collaborate with Will Eisner on this project.

There’s been a story making the rounds on the Internet among women who work in the comic book industry. It’s the first-person account by a father who takes his young children to his local comic book store and finds himself embarrassed in front of his daughter. Like the smart little cookie she is, the daughter explains to her father that there is nothing in the store for her.
This is a complaint that women in the comic book industry have been making, as a group, for at least twenty years. Neil Gaiman captured the ethos perfectly in an early issue of Sandman – which is when a lot of fanboys learned that particular point of view was out there. Still, even with all this discussion over the decades, this gentleman did not notice until he had his own daughter, and looked at his comic book store through her eyes.

In a summer fraught with hate and strife, the Watsons reacted with love and kindness. They were but one family, and a fictional one at that.
But the Newbery Medal-winning book "The Watsons Go to Birmingham," perfectly captures the drama of the civil rights movement. And Hallmark Channel perfectly captures Christopher Paul Curtis' book in its Friday, Sept. 20, movie.
"The real heartbeat of this movie is love," says Anika Noni Rose ("Dreamgirls," "The Good Wife"). "This family loves each other so hard."
"Wilona loves her husband enough to leave her central unit, her family, and go someplace she does not know or understand," Rose tells Zap2it of her character. "She loves her children enough to uproot them and bring them to another place, which is almost another time."
Using period cars and costumes, director Kenny Leon focuses on the huge issues through the filter of a family. Set in 1963, this opens in Flint,...

That event marks a pivotal scene in the Hallmark Channel original movie The Watsons Go to Birmingham, premiering Sept. 20 at 8pm Et. The film, based on the Newbery Honor-winning book by Christopher Paul Curtis, also touches on other key civil rights moments from 1963 that we are commemorating this year, including the Birmingham marches and [...]
