Hi, I'm Mark McKenna.
I'm an established comic book illustrator. I have been illustrating comics for
more then 24 years for both Marvel and DC Comics. I have worked on X-Men,
Spider Man, The Hulk, Wolverine, Wonder Woman, and most recently Batman, over
425 books and 7000 pages in all.
In October of 2002 I
ventured into the world of self-publishing with Banana-Tail in order to
diversify from my career as a comic book professional. Put the world of Spider
Man, Batman, and Wolverine together with the personalities of Banana-Tail, Tic
Tac and Reena, and I guarantee to have the children fascinated by the session I
have put together. I am currently accepting and offering a
presentation/lecture/session to schools and libraries based on my combined
expertise and knowledge of both the comic book world, and the development and
self publishing venture of my children's book, Banana-Tail.
I have developed a 30
to 45 minute program that can be more or less "involved" based
on the age group I am presenting to. My fees range from $300 to $450 (traveling
expenses not included), depending on whether I'm presenting a simple classroom
or library lecture or a more involved and lengthy auditorium presentation. I
prefer to work with groups of less then 30 children (doing them in succession,
if needed), as there is more warmth and interaction in a smaller group. If
you'd like to read about past presentations, you canclick here to see a newspaper article that was written on recent local visit I had at the
Florida Public Library.
I'm happy to travel by car
to any location within New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland and
Massachusetts, and I'm more than willing to discuss lengthier journeys as well.
Below you'll find a short list of my presentations and convention showings.
