CKA Participant Interview: Blake Petit

This CKA Participant is a novelist and teacher.  You can find his books on Amazon and e-readers.  I would like to apologize to Blake. For some reason Tumblr keeps screwing up the formatting, no matter what I do.

1. Name

--Blake M Petit

  2. Twitter/ Website

-- www.twitter.com/BlakeMP

--www.CXPulp.com and www.ReeltoReelMovies.com

  3. What was the first comic that you remember reading?

--The earliest comics I ever remember reading were from a box of Archies my dad gave me from a guy he worked with. After that, an uncle passed on some of his old Green Lantern and Legion of Super-Heroes comics, and I've been hooked ever since. 

  4. What is your all time favorite comic/ Graphic Novel?

--Depends on what mood you catch me in. At any given time, chief contenders will include Kingdom Come, Kurt Busiek's Astro City, and The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.

  5. Favorite writer?

--Mark Waid and Kurt Busiek have both long held top spots for me, but Scott Snyder is making a serious push into that territory these days. 

  6. Favorite artist?

--Don Rosa is criminally underrated. Among superhero artists, I'll take a page by Stuart Immonen or Ethan Van Sciver over almost anyone.

  7. What comic would you give to someone who has no interest in comics?

--I don't think there's any single comic that will grab everybody, I think you need to tailor it to the person's taste. I'd give a horror fan something like Midnight Nation or Locke and Key, a fantasy reader Fables, a sitcom viewer Love and Capes, and so forth. There's no single movie or novel that appeals to the entire population, and comics are the same way.

  8. If you could give one issue to a kid to inspire him/ her to read comics, what would it be?

--Again, I'd tailor it to the individual kid, but Don Rosa and Carl Barks's Disney comics would be at the top of my list, along with Art Baltazar & Franco's Superman Family Adventures, Jeff Smith's Bone or... hell, the latest Archie digest. Worked for me.  

Thanks Blake.
