Join CXC’s Jeff Smith for a lively and hilarious chat with comics superstars Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner on October 3rd. Palmiotti and Conner have storied careers in mainstream and independent comics, and we’ll talk about their work on some of the biggest superheroes in the world, including a defining run on Harley Quinn that inspired how that character was portrayed in the Birds of Prey movie and the Harley Quinn animated series.
A Q&A session will be available to those who pre-register on our website. https://cartooncrossroadscolumbus.org/sessions/diamonds-masks-the-adventures-of-amanda-conner-and-jimmy-palmiotti/
Tim Fulton sat down with Jeff to discuss his career, progress with Netflix and what a virtual Cartoon Crossroads (CXC) will look like. Have a listen!

September 11, 2001, Jeff and Vijaya had just arrived in Norway for a comics festival in Bergen. Illustrating the experience of what it was like to be far from home that day, these original art pieces were donated to the “9-11: Emergency Relief” graphic novel which was a fundraiser for the American Red Cross.
CXC will happen on a variety of platforms. Some of our events (like the Talk & Teach workshops) will be on Zoom Webinars and require registration. But almost everything will be streamed on our Facebook, YouTube, & Twitch. Details: http://cartooncrossroadscolumbus.org/schedule
