    On Sunday July 26, the Boston Comics Workspace hosted its second Creator Talk with local comics maven Dan Mazur, an acclaimed author, cartoonist, and comics scholar known locally for his many contributions to the Boston comics scene from his work as Ninth Art Press, publishing with BCR, and co-directing the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo.

    Mazur provided an extremely thorough presentation on his most recent work “The Jernegan Solution” to a well-attended and rapt audience. He covered how he came up with the idea for the piece as well as its evolution and the process of revision and expansion. He discussed his visit to Lubec, Maine, the setting of the story (and also the easternmost point in the United States), and the process of historical research. Mazur also covered character development in terms of look and attitude and went into his artistic process. The audience was allowed to peruse his thumbnails and roughs as well as view the finished work in its entirety. It was an extremely informative and inspiring afternoon!

    BOSTON COMICS ROUNDTABLE PRESENTS: Creator Talks, with Dan Mazur on “The Jernegan Solution”

    SOMERVILLE, Mass. – The Boston Comics Roundtable (BCR) cordially invites you to the second installment of their recently launched Creator Talk series, which will take place at the new Boston Comics Workspace at 561 Windsor Street in Somerville, Studio 306. Writer/artist Dan Mazur will discuss his new historical nonfiction comic “The Jernegan Solution,” the tale of a strange little gold rush that occurred in 1890s Maine. The event kicks off at 2 pm on Sunday July 26th. Admission is free and open to the public.

    Mazur’s Creator Talk will focus on the process of bringing “The Jernegan Solution” to fruition,  from inspiration to publication, becoming what Kevin Bramer at Optical Sloth calls “a thoroughly engaging comic that details a bit of American history that I was completely unaware of.” Topics will include visual and historical research, script composition, and the creative problem solving involved in bringing this obscure bit of American history to light.
