Podcast appearances and mentions of gina gagliano

In this episode I'm talking to Veronika Paluch, mom of two and owner of Veronika Paluch Photography. Veronika is based in the western Philadelphia suburbs and focuses on portraits of expecting mothers, newborns, and young families. She spent time in several other fields before settling into her creative passion as a photographer, and both her work and personal life are incredibly influenced by her experiences as a mother. Today, she offers full-studio photography, including wardrobe and hair and makeup for moms and their families. We chatted about everything from career changes, to postpartum confidence, to the way we speak to our children- Veronika was so kind and genuine and will feel like an old friend to all listeners. Enjoy! You can check out Veronika online @veronikapaluch on Instagram or veronikapaluch.com. Veronika also mentioned Leah Davey of Main Line Ma, children's costumes from Snickerdoos Kids, florist Heritage Gatherings, makeup artist Gina Gagliano, and interior designer Riverwards General.

A relatively quiet few weeks of news means a compact and bijou episode, but Al and Paul still find time to talk about Amazon's postponed assimilation of Comixology, Gina Gagliano leaving Random House Graphic, the launch of Zestworld, Oni signing with Lunar for distribution and Marvel's announcement of Secret X-Men, as well as reviewing King of Spies and Justice League Dark Annual. Last Christmas, I gave you the Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and the very next day, you returned it for store credit.

For July's Portrait of an Editors, I'm shining the POE spotlight on some of the folks at Random House Graphic. This is the second of three interviews, and for this one, I had a chance to talk with the company's Publishing Director, Gina Gagliano. She covers everything from her start in publishing at First Second Books to creating and running the day-to-day of RHG and other things like designing covers and being part of a big publishing house.

This month we’re joined by Gina Gagliano, the Publishing Director of Random House Graphic and someone who worked in the Marketing department at First Second as Tillie Walden released books like Spinning and Are You Listening? with them.

The post Signals From The Hill #36 – Gina Gagliano On I Love This Part appeared first on Avery Hill Publishing.

We talk to Gina about Tillie's second book as well as her own life and work in comics.

In this week's special episode of Off Panel, we look at the defining themes of 2020 in comics with the help of Random House Graphic's Publishing Director Gina Gagliano, Third Eye Comics' Steve Anderson, and The Beat's Heidi MacDonald. Up first is Gagliano (1:15), who talks about a year of revolutionary change, the year's impact on promoting and publishing comics, how the book market was affected, and the year that was in that market. After that is Anderson (27:57), who discusses the disappearing backlist of trades in the direct market, distributor changes, and how single issues were affected. And to close is MacDonald (59:46), who talks about the end of the single issue, the rise of the webcomic, and how the balance of formats is shifting.

My Boyfriend is a Bear is out now and really fun!! Spectacle by Megan Rose Gedris is out in 2 weeks and we’re having a circus-themed release party for it! Free Comic Book Day 2018 is over, so of course we’re working on Free Comic Book Day 2019. Ideas come out organically in this very discussion. Contest of Challengers has a new logo… borrowed from a current DC comic. DC is starting to offer incentive variants and we’re not really on board with this plan. More and more people are wanting just the DC variant covers each week. We’ve had more people ask for this week’s Suicide Squad variant than we can sell of issues off the shelf. How does that even happen? Young Animal is ending in August. We’ve heard rumors of a few new DC titles and creative team changes. Bud Plant will no longer exhibit at San Diego, after 48 years. Random House is starting their own all-ages graphic novel imprint, and our friend Gina Gagliano is heading it! This is amazing news for the comics industry! John Barber is the new Editor-In-Chief of IDW Publishing. Black Badge is the new BOOM! Studios comic from Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins. Thing black op boy and girl scouts. There is a “Men in Comics” panel at TCAF this weekend and it sounds wonderfully hilarious.

Reviews: Avengers Vol 7 #1, Coda #1, DC Nation #0, Red Sonja/Tarzan #1  TCAF is approaching and Jimmy is madly prepping for it.

On this episode of The Comics Alternative Interview, Derek and Andy W. talk with Ben Hadke, creator of the Zita the Spacegirl series. Of course they discuss Ben's signature works -- Zita the Spacegirl, Legends of Zita the Spacegirl, and The Return of Zita the Spacegirl (the latter of which was just published by First Second) -- but they also delve into some of his other work, including his upcoming picture book, Julia's House for Lost Creatures (also from First Second). Along the way they discuss the wellspring of Ben's sketchbooking, the origins of Zita, the close links between Ben's art and his family, the appeal of all-age comics, the artist's schedule and philosophy as a speaker, and the many wild and fantastical creatures that populate his books. (Ben, Andy, and Derek also give a shout out to Gina Gagliano at First Second for her unparalleled work as a publicist and for being an all around good person!) The guys have a great time talking with Ben, and in doing so they're able to tap into the excitement and passion that bring life to all of the Zita books.
