AKER CITY — The art of
comics isn’t just the fi nal
product, and Justin Zimmerman
will lead a workshop in early May
about how to get into the world of
making comics.
“A comic book is pitching,
writing an outline and script,” he
said. “I’ll help people unlock how
to make a comic book so it’s not
a mystery.”
The workshop is set for May 7
and May 8 at Churchill School,
3451 Broadway St. The Saturday
session is 2-4 p.m., and Sunday’s
workshop is noon-2 p.m.
Zimmerman will explain how to
pitch an idea, outline a story, cre-
ate character descriptions and
make a thumbnail of the script.
“We learn the language and
then work together to make sto-
ries,” he said.
Registration for the two-day
workshop is $100 and it’s open
to ages 15 and older. Register at
www.churchillbaker.com. Space

is limited to eight participants.
Zimmerman has an MFA in fi lm
and is a nationally recognized
fi lmmaker — his narrative and
documentary work has appeared
in more than 200 fi lm festivals
across the globe and been
broadcast on public television,
where he won two international
television awards.
His history with comics, though,
goes back to when he read “Elf
Quest” by Wendy and Richard Pini.
“They were incredible,” he
said. “I was completely trans-
ported. I think that shaped my
love of comics.”
Zimmerman has worked in
comics for about 10 years — writ-
ing, creating and editing in the
graphic novel fi eld. He also creates
motion trailers for all his books.
He works with a variety of
artists who create images for
the script, and he will show this
original artwork, and explain
the process from art to graphic
novel, during a special exhibition
on First Friday, May 6, at Churchill
starting at 5:30 p.m.
This is the fi rst show of its kind
that he’s presented to the public.
“The art is phenomenal,” Zim-
merman said. “There’s a wide va-
riety of artists with a wide variety
of techniques.”
