Allen Carter is an artist, writer, promoter, and the sole creator of two independent comics titles called Damn Tourists and Cosmic Force. He lives in Los Angeles, but is originally from Hawaiʻi. Allen tells us how his favorite childhood cartoons inspired him to create worlds of his own that were patterned after special places in Hawaiʻi. Allen also shares his thoughts on the Black Lives Matter Movement and how we can be effective allies to the people and the cause.

  • How Allen uses his every day life to inspire the stories and characters he creates for Carter Comics
