Hello, everyone! It’s a new jam! I hope everyone is well and safe. I know it’s getting pretty scary out there with the covid-19 outbreak, but we are all in this together. Bearing that in mind, make it a point to look after your fellow shut-ins. Life is weird right now. It’s very lonely for some folks. A little five minute phone call can go a long way. People are out of work and broke. Let’s get through this.

Comics!

(Story by Dustin Nelson | Art by Aaron Guzman | Letters by LetterSquids)
(Story by Jesse Galena | Art by Sonya Kinsey | Letters by Kevin D Lintz)
(Story and Letters by TJ Troy | Art by Aaron Guzman)

Aaron Guzman is an artist and graphic designer living in the best city in the world: NYC! Ink is in his blood. His nails are made from pen nibs. He was born to create art. Follow his art here:

Dustin Luke Nelson is a writer based out of the Midwest that writes and edits for Thrillist. His musical taste is impeccable and he can pick you out a good beer. You can find links to his writing here:

Justin/LetterSquids is a letterer and a designer. He makes comics look and read better. His portfolio can be found here:

Jesse Galena is a writer living outside of Washington DC. In his spare time he enjoys playing tabletop games, spending quality time with his partner, and communing with the dead via broken antique radios. You can find up to date information about his current projects via his website here:

Kevin D. Lintz is a comic book letterer and writer. He learned his skills in a Comics Experience class and honed them on the mean streets of his all-ages comic book, Team SLUG. He has lettered several stories for Comics Experience alumni stories and anthologies. He frequently startles his family by making sound effect noises out loud to try and translate them into written words. He has even watched “Helvetica”, the full-length feature movie about the font Helvetica

Sonya Kinsey is an artist and researcher living in Freidberg, Germany. She’s the type of person that when you talk to them you suddenly feel smarter by association. Her breadth of work and interests really blows my mind. Also, she just recently earned her PhD.

Grammy® Award-winning musician T.J. Troy has developed lines of symmetry and expression that allow him to move freely between drumming and vocal styles. This versatility in artistry has helped him to create multi-textural comics that blur the lines between music, art, and story creating something altogether different. The themes of loss and redemption play heavily into his comics as he explores the world that America once was, and the possibilities of our society that will be. Check out his comics and music here

That’s it, y’all! It’s been good! Come back soon and we will have more amazing short form comics for you to read. Until then, stay Jammy, y’all!
