A question that can only be answered in West Philadelphia Story. This week Alex and Chris speak with award-winning Philadelphia-based artist Jamar Nicholas. Jamar is the triple threat creator/writer/illustrator of LEON THE EXTRAORDINARY, (published by Scholastic Press).

Jamar Nicholas is in the house! And we couldn't be happier to have him. Creator of the hit kids' graphic novel, Leon: Protector of the Playground, Jamar kickstarted his cartooning career in 1997 with the self-published Jamar Chronicles. Following his creation of the webcomic Detective Boogaloo: Hip-Hop Cop, Jamar became an editorial cartoonist for the Philadelphia Tribune. His most acclaimed work may be his graphic novel adaptation of Geoffrey Canada's memoir Fist, Stick, Knife, Gun, which won several awards. Now, through a partnership with Scholastic, Leon is getting his own new series of graphic novels, starting with Leon the Extraordinary next week.  All that, and he also teaches!  You can follow Jamar on Twitter @jamarnicholas and on Instagram @jamar_nicholas_cartoonist. And you should go buy Leon the Extraordinary on October 4! _______________________________If you liked this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

This episode I’m talking with the great cartoonist, teacher and Philly native Jamar Nicholas.

We met Jamar Nicholas at NYC Comic Con. We were both taken in by his fantastic adaptation of Geoffrey Canada's book Fist Stick Knife Gun. We spoke with Jamar from his home in Philadelphia, where he's originally from. We talked about his great graphic novel, his love of comic strips, difficulties of urban inner city life and his upcoming book, Leon. Don't miss it! Original music by Adam Bernstein.

Jamar Nicholas wears a number of hats, as do many artists. He's a teacher -- he teaches narrative storywriting at Drexel and has taught at Moore College of Art and Design and Arcadia University; he is Fine Arts Curatorial and Administrative Assistant at Arcadia University Art Gallery, and he makes his art -- drawings of narratives that become comic books about superheroes, like the Hip Hop Cop Detective Boogaloo, which ran -- daily -- in the Philadelphia Metro in 2015.
