Atomic Basement, Downtown’s newly minted comic book store, invites artists, storytellers or anyone who knows how to hold a pencil to a free comic book making class at 3 p.m., today.<\/p>\n

Leading today’s workshop are the two creators of sci-fi western comic book “Guns A’ Blazin’,” artist Rafael Navarro and writer Mike Wellman, co-owner of Atomic. They promise to reveal all their tips, tricks, rules and shortcuts on how to make a dazzling picture driven story.<\/p>\n

They’ll illustrate storytelling concepts based on popular series (Harry Potter, Spiderman, Star Wars), and artist Navarro will explain the basic steps of character design, page layout and putting together a page for comics.<\/p>\n

This new session dubbed, “Makin’ Comics” is a two-part series in partnership with Brickersville, a studio in Shoreline Village dedicated to the art and craft of building with LEGOs. Together they aim to create a LEGO-based comic book series dedicated to the city of Long Beach.<\/p>\n

Part two of the series will be held at Brickersville in March (TBD) where Wellman, Navarro and Patricia Tsoiasue, Brickersville’s director, will hash out characters and a basic storyline for the comic book series devoted to the history of Long Beach.<\/p>\n

The unique series will be formatted in an Italian-style of comic book making known as Fumetti, a photographic driven style of comics. So even if you’re not interested in having a hand in the Long Beach LEGO story, there’s much to be learned from Italy’s artistic photonovel version.<\/p>\n

Brickersville and Atomic Basement present “Makin’ Comics” event is from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Atomic Basement Comics and Creator’s Lab at 400 E. 3rd St. The all-ages event is free to attend. For more information, click here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
