Comic artist teaching at Kennesaw State

KENNESAW, Ga. | Jan 28, 2021

Looking back on her career, comic artist June Brigman feels fortunate that she makes a living doing what she loves. Professor of comic storytelling art at Kennesaw State University’s School of Art and Design (SOAAD), and co-creator of Marvel’s superhero series Power Pack, Brigman still loves drawing comic books and comic strips.

“I’ve been incredibly fortunate that, somehow, I’ve hung in there and I still get to draw funny books,” she says. Originally from Norcross, she studied life drawings and spent a summer in her teens working at Six Flags Over Georgia as a pastel portrait artist, drawing about 600 portraits, mostly children. She couldn’t have known then what a big influence this would play in her career.
