Earlier in my career, my work in the comic book industry involved booking, hosting, and moderating panels at some of the largest comic book conventions in the U.S., including Comic-Con International in San Diego, New York Comic Con, and Wizard World Chicago, featuring writers, artists, and other entertainment celebrities.
