Show Notes
| About the creator(s): |
| Curtis Parvin
Curtis is the co-founder and co-owner of Splash Page Comics. He is the creator/writer of Building Bridges, a YA one-shot comic about teenage superheroes, bullying, jealousy and a spaghetti bridge tournament (illustrated by Drew C. Kelly). Currently, Curtis is writing the Legend of Beard Fist, a series he co-created with business partner and illustrator, Drew C. Kelly. Beard Fist is a coming-of-age tale about a young heroine who travels with her mythic hero friends. When Curtis is not behind his computer writing, you can find him at one of the many different comic book conventions in the New England area, at a local cinema or behind a graphic novel. |
| Drew C. Kelly
Growing up in Massachusetts, Drew always had a fondness for the forest and the adventures that lie within. He uses these ideas as inspiration when illustrating the Legend of Beard Fist, the comic that he and Curtis M. Parvin co-create. Drew also enjoys wandering the wilderness of Skyrim, or building massive castles in Minecraft- both of which are also inspiration for Beard Fist. Since he was a kid, people have asked Drew what he wants to be when he grows up, and he would always answer, “I want to have my own comic book.” So I guess dreams comes true. |
