DownloadWhen I was in the fifth grade, I bought an issue of DC Comics Presents number 57
off of a spinner rack at my local bookstore.
And that comic book changed my life.
I immediately fell in love with the medium of comics.
But I never brought them to school.
Instinctively, I knew that comic books didn’t belong in the classroom.
Eventually, I became a published cartoonist,
writing and drawing comic books for a living.
I also became a high school teacher.
