Page 6 – Dustin Harbin

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

In addition to being a letterer for books like Casanova, Dustin Harbin is a fantastic cartoonist as well. He is the creator of the autobiographical comic Dharbin!. He also maintains a blog about making comics that is equally informative and hilarious.

Jason met Dustin at SPX and purchased some of his minicomics. A year later at TCAF, Jason asked Dustin to contribute this page to the FF9 project.

This page was originally going to be commissioned from Dave Sim, however Mr. Sim was less than accommodating. Though he agreed to draw the page, he refused to sell it, and told Jason that he would have to bid on the page in an auction. However, since Jason had given him the idea, he was willing to make a copy to give to Jason. Jason declined the offer. And we’re all the better for it, as Dustin’s take is fantastic.

Dustin Harbin’s website can be found here.

Josué Menjivar is the biggest Jack Kirby fan Jason has ever met. He insisted on doing this page for free, but compromised when Jason agreed to buy all of Josué’s comics in exchange for drawing the page.

Josué is the writer and artist of Way Off Main and Everyday Things. You can find his art and comics at freshbrewedillustration.com.

Eric Shonborn drew this. Eric Shonborn is writing this. He is very uncomfortable writing about himself. He is a friend of Jason’s, and felt honored to be the first “real” person to be asked to contribute. Eric Shonborn thinks this page is a gigantic piece of crap, but whattayagonnado?

Eric Shonborn hosts a podcast called Gutter Trash with Jason Young that can be found at www.guttertrash.net.

You can also find more of Eric’s art at www.shonborn.net, but why would you want to? You should listen to the podcast, though.
