When he was young, Fulford’s parents believed that comic books weren’t appropriate for him to read. When he finally got his hands on one, it changed his life.

“They expanded my brain because they showed me a world where anything can happen,” Fulford said. “They were so exciting.”
Fulford met with a group of children interested in comics and drawing recently at a public library. There, he set up the framework of a comic and got help coming up with characters and scenarios from his audience.
“I like a character who doesn’t start off as a superhero but becomes a one later in the story. She may be boring, but she’s kind,” Fulford said.
He took the children through the entire process, including drawing actions and dialogue. Fulford even covered the use of words to convey sounds, like “bam” and “smack.”
“It’s a good thing we don’t have thought bubbles in real life, or everyone of us would be in detention for like a million years,” he said.
