Our Story
Micah loves comic books. Every morning on our way to summer camp he would tell me about the new saga’s he was imagining. Every night, he would draw the covers of the many comic books that he imagined and tape them to the wall in my office. Then this happened. One morning he told me about Super Pencil and the Attack of the Talking Televisions. There was something about this title that caused me to pause and reflect. Weeks later I was traveling to Las Vegas with a group of friends and could not stop talking about it. I knew then we were on to something.
When I returned from my trip, Micah and I sat and discussed the characters. I asked him questions while capturing the details. For months I asked, “What happened next?” His imagination sparked my creativity and our collaboration birth what you now know as Super Pencil & The Revenge of the Talking Televisions.
