Praise for 2011 graduate; Craig Cermak
During a panel discussion at C2E2 Dynamite publisher Nick Barrucci tossed the ball to Voltron writer Brandon Thomas and new Voltron artist Craig Cermak so they could briefly talk about their work on Voltron before going off to theirr own Voltron panel.
On working with Cermak, Thomas said, “Craig is great. I knew he could tell stories with spin.” Cermak, a recent graduate of the Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, said, “This is my first published book. I’m frightened and exhilarated. I’m younger than most of you, so I missed Voltron when I was growing up.”
Of Cermak coming straight from Kubert to Dynamite, Barrucci said, “We need to find some more graduates of Kubert.”
