All about the Kansas City comics community

Williams is currently wrapping up his run as illustrator of JSA All-Stars from DC Comics. He is a Kansas City native who currently lives in the Missouri suburbs.
The folks at the Backroom Comics Podcast interviewed comics creator Phil Hester at the 2010 Emerald City ComicCon. Iowa-based Hester, who’s a great friend of this blog and a regular at Kansas City conventions, talks about many of his current projects, including the story of how a “Son of Fin Fang Foom” pitch became Firebreather.
