Grant Newbold '12 and his comic books will be featured at Saboten Con, a Japanese Pop-Culture Convention in Phoenix.
As a local comic book artist and writer, Grant made his debut with his comic “A Magical Girl’s Day Off!” And since then spends every waking moment of his life creating comics! A graduate of the University of Arizona’s Illustration program, Grant draws inspiration from the anime works of Studio Trigger/Gainax, Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy), and Western Cartoons/Comics.
Come by Saboten Con from September 1-4, 2017 and give his comic a read. Previous comic books by Grant include Magical Girls, Bad Puns, Good Puns (?), Sassy Convenience Store Clerks, Man-Eating Pompadours, Giant Anime Style Finishing Moves, and an Explosion.
