Academy of Art University Students Continue to Triumph at the Comic Book Challenge
Breaking news from San Diego: Academy of Art University Students
Kevin Buckley and Marcus “Parcus”
Thiele’s comic has made it into the Top 10 of the Comic Book Challenge! On July 26, Kevin
pitched
The Strange and Many Eyes of Dr. LeFaux to a prestigious
panel of judges and impressed them with Marcus’ stunning illustrations and his intriguing writing.
Out of the 50 pitches, the judges picked the Top 10 Finalists whose fate now lies in the hands of
online voters.
The Comic Book Challenge,
co-sponsored by Platinum Studios, is a way for up-and-coming writers and artists to have their work
published. Platinum Studios picks 50 entries and gives the artists a stipend to travel to San Diego
to pitch their ideas.
The public can watch each pitch and vote for their favorite until August 12 when the Top
Three Finalists will be announced. Academy of Art University wishes Kevin and Marcus the best of
luck!
