Comic Collaboration — Newbie-ginnings and In Plain Sight

The first page of *In Plain Sight*, published by Green Archer Comics in 2024.

In February, I saw a call for proposals to submit a story — of up to 5 pages — for comic anthology being produced by Green Archer Comics, a small outfit whose founders have some cybersecurity roots. I asked if they were still interested in submissions. (They were.) So I asked my daughter — a double major in computer science and media arts — if she would be interested in doing the comic. (She was.)

So, after a weekend of brainstorming, I came up with a story and passed it along to her. My few hours of work ended up being dozens of hours of drawing for her. I think the effort came out great. Both of us had never done a comic before, so it was a phenomenal experience.

The anthology is Newbie-ginnings: A Cybersecurity Comic Anthology from Green Archer Comics.
