Comic Artistry: Illustrating Narratives with Life - Interview - Tem Blessed & Mike LaRiccia

Be Your Own Hero Po

cIstn my conversation with Author Tem Blessed and Artist Mike LaRiccia, we dive into the world that is Planeta Blu and learn the very real parallels between Tem’s fantasy world and our precious planet. Planeta Blu: Rise of Agoo just released in November with Dark Horse Comics and follows the journey of a group of inner city youths that suddenly gain the ability to speak with animals and learn that it’s up to them to save the earth from the climate crisis that it faces. Tem shares his passion for environmental justice and how he weaved that theme, perhaps unknowingly at first, into his work. It all started by Tem creating these stories for his kids at bedtime. He even shares about the original inspiration for the story when he recalled a time when he was a kid, where he stumbled upon a secret “cat council” while playing outside! Now, years later, and with the help of graphic artist Mike LaRiccia, they hope Planeta Blu will inspire change and help youth of all walks of life realize there is a hero inside of them. Remember, it doesn't take some big action to make an impact in the world around you. Everyone can start with something small and simple in your own community.
