San Francisco-based artist MariNaomi is the daughter of a Japanese mother and an American soldier who traveled to Japan in the late 1960s to teach English. They met, fell in love, and had a daughter in the early ’70s. MariNaomi grew up on the West Coast and became a comics artist—but first, she had the romantic ups and downs of an American teenager and young adult. She details her experiences with both men and women in the new book Kiss & Tell: A Romantic Résumé, Ages 0 to 22, out now from HarperPerennial. The engaging memoir details MariNaomi’s outlook growing up and discovering who she really is in this world.

As I write this, it’s Will Eisner’s birthday. Or rather, it would have been his 94th birthday if he had lived this long. It is a time to reflect on how much he has given this industry, how great his legacy truly is, and how much we all owe him in terms of storytelling, art, and the overall feeling of this wonderful format…especially in the sense of long-form storytelling in the graphic format.
