The Justice League as 8 year olds, dealing with everyday life? Yes please!
I am not sure when I read my first ever JL8 strip but I know that I was hooked from the moment I saw the charming characters.
I got to speak with award-winning cartoonist Yale Stewart about his life, comics, Superman, integrity and his JL8 webcomic that has fans all over the world.
It was fascinating to hear how these characters came to be and the origin story of this artist/writer.
