Join local comic book creator, Ryan Drost, as he presents the importance of storytelling in our everyday lives through the art of comic books.

To lead-off the library's celebration of Free Comic Book Day and Star Wars Day on May 4, local comic book creator Ryan Drost will talk about the art of creating comic books.

Ryan was recently able to fulfill a lifelong dream of creating his own comic book, Stealth Hammer (the library owns issues 1 and 2). This superhero adventure story is set in a world of high-tech gadgetry and supernatural mythology, and it was inspired by the real-life nickname of his wife. Ryan has self-published two issues of the comic and is currently working on his third with plans for much more adventure to come.

Ryan Drost works in affiliate marketing for Vitamix, and for the past 14 years has also hosted his own podcast interviewing a variety of comic book writers and artists.
