Comic book birthdays today

There may still not be much of a party atmosphere right now, but everything is starting to normalise out now, so maybe? But comics folk are always getting older and still celebrating that special date.

• Adrian Tomine, creator of Optic Nerve.
• David Anthony Kraft, founder, and editor of Comics Interview.
• Dean Haspiel, comics creator for a variety of publishers, 2010 Emmy Award winner.

If you are in comics and have a birthday coming up – or you know someone who has – get in touch at richjohnston@gmail.com.
