Guest Bio

Mark Bernal grew up near Oakland, CA, and spent the last 17 years serving in the Department of Defense. During 2020, he began working with various illustrators to create the first pages of Lesser Known Comics. Since then, Lesser Known Comics has grown to a fourteen-person company with writers and artists in New York, Maryland, Virginia, Texas, Wisconsin, California, and Washington (as well as artists in Argentina and Spain).

The company’s mission goal is to not only make great comics, but also change the industry standards for how comic book artists are treated. Lesser Known Comics prioritizes ensuring that artists have among the most favorable contracts in the industry that focus on giving them the most creative freedom, best work/life balance, and the strongest collective bargaining rights.

Lastly, Lesser Known Comics is making every effort to make their comic book exclusively available through local comic book shops. Lesser Known Comics would rather send readers a free comic book to pick-up at their local comic book shop than distribute their comics on Amazon.

In March of 2021, Lesser Known Comics began releasing its first comic books that are available for download on LesserKnownComics.com. The first issues from Lesser Known Comics are available at local comic book stores now!

Guest Bio

I am a cosplayer and artist who has been creating and designing since I could hold a Crayola marker- bringing characters to life has always been something I've found joy in. When I lept into cosplay with Season 1 Daenerys in 2019, something stirred, and the creativity that I had left untouched for a solid 4 years burst forward-I haven't looked back since.

My love for DC Comics was fostered in high school and has only deepened from there, which I'm sure is clear by my many DC cosplays. Whether it's a purchased cosplay or an armor build that's taken me months, they're all close to my heart. When I tell the stories of characters I love, through cosplay, through design, and more, I also tell a little bit of my own story- it's been both freeing and empowering!

Guest Bio:

Dave Dellecese is a writer and author of comics, children's books, graphic novels, and more.

He is the co-creator and writer of the middle schooler turned superhero graphic novel, Lacey & Lily from Darby Pop Publishing.

His comic credits also include co-creating, writing (and occasionally doodling) the comic series Holidaze, the adult comedy series about the after-hours lives of mythical icons when they're off the clock and hanging at their favorite watering hole. Dave has also contributed to the pages of Ink Puddle Press' comedy series The Devil and Mr Gandhi.

Outside of comics, his most recent work is Frank the Barber, a historical fiction tale set on Christmas Eve, 1943 in the city of Utica, New York.

A father of three, Dave is the author of the children’s picture book The Little Lamp about a small table lamp dealing with change and the re-discovery of purpose after being tossed to the curb with the trash.

He occasionally reflects on life and parenthood at his blog, thedorkydaddy.com

A former journalist and news anchor, he has written for newspapers and broadcast, contributed to What to Expect, the companion website to the best-selling parenthood series What to Expect When You’re Expecting, and appeared on The Weather Channel and The Today Show.

Dave also lends his voice to The Brass Lantern old time radio adventure podcast, playing former reporter-turned private investigator, Wam Dixon.

When it comes to the world of four-color comic adventures, his influences sway toward the Silver Age and Golden Age of comics. His master’s thesis was on the use of comic books as a form of American propaganda during World War II, and has given several lectures on the subject.

Daniel comes in to talk about his book American Dreams with Eva. They go over the story, and talk about comics production, team and project management, and life in New York City.

Bio: Daniel Kalban is the creator/writer of American Dreams. Proudly raised in Brooklyn, he is a graduate of Daemen College (Amherst, NY). He credits his love of comics, especially heroes, to his father’s old collection of Silver Age comics. When not working as an office assistant for a major metropolitan law firm, you can usually find him working hard on American Dreams and other projects. He also writes occasional articles for Word of the Nerd. When not working, he enjoys playing video games, going to museums, or attending the theater (when things are normal). He credits American Dreams’ creation to his love of superheroes, and history. Daniel currently lives in New York CIty, where you can usually see him running around, possibly grumbling about how badly the Mets are doing.
