This week’s Small Press Spotlight is devoted to among the creators doing their factor at New York Comic-Con 2022. As a lot as I want I acquired to see and chat with each indie, self-published, or Artist Alley creator onsite, there was simply an excessive amount of superior throughout me to get all of it in. So right here is however a small style of what I noticed.
Erik Arreaga
First up on the NYCC foremost present ground was impartial artist and storyteller Erik Arreaga. Based in San Diego, most of his work is self-published and centered on his personal experiences rising up in southern California. Having been freelancing and hitting the con circuit for the reason that ‘90s, Arreaga is not any stranger to comics and comedian artwork, particularly for smaller publishers.
“I love working for only independent companies. I’ve drawn Spider-Man and stuff like that. But I’ve always enjoyed working for the little guy. And over the years I’ve done my own couple of little books.”
Arreaga has a brand new sequence within the works that he attracts from his personal heritage and expertise.
“It’s going to be a Latina superhero and it all takes place in San Diego. I’m kind of over the New York thing and everyone is from Chicago or something. I think San Diego needs a spotlight. And I think what’s going to be real different about my story is it’s not focused on just being superhero stuff, but it’s going to be actual superheroes with actual human problems, illnesses. We all have that one friend that has a certain condition or whatever that is kind of rare. And I don’t think superheroes show that and it doesn’t bring enough awareness. And my wife got sick last year, but I don’t think a lot of people know about the condition that she had. And I like to bring that out into characters. That way people can really relate to characters more than just being like, oh, they’re the same ethnicity, or no, we share the same condition, how do we handle it? That’s what I’m working on right now. And I’m hoping to get it out next year.”
