| “I like what's going on
now,” said Jimmie Robinson, an Oakland-based
comic book artist who exhibited his work at
Wondercon. “It's the changing of the
guard.” Robinson
should know. He runs a monthly meeting of Bay
Area comic book publishers.
Robinson, who grew up in
Oakland, began sketching out story ideas from
television sitcoms when he was 7 and
self-published his own comic book, Cyberzone,
four years ago. Now, his comic books are
published by Image, a young company whose star is
rising in the industry as older companies, like
Marvel and DC, struggle to stay afloat.
Robinson's current projects are Amanda and Gunn
— “It's like Northern Exposure meets
Blade Runner” — and Code Blue, a
futuristic emergency room drama.
