Interview With June Brigman
Joel Mangrum;)
In a male-dominated industry that sees talented artists burn bright and flame out fast comic artist June Brigman has been the go-to talent for both Marvel and DC for almost 20 years. Not only has she filled in on almost every major title for both companies she was the co-creator of the first direct market comic title and has taught at the prestigous Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art for the last five years. She was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with The Dollar Bin about her career and where it’s headed next.
DB: Where did you get your art training?
Brigman: I studied art at the University of GA and GA State, but dropped out when I decided to pursue a career in comics. I felt I wasn’t learning anything useful. There weren’t any Sequential Art programs way back then, so I taught myself how to draw comics.
