95312 RAA From Paint to Panels R1 Proof

Hi everyone, welcome to this debut comic anthology by The Wild Ones , a group that consists of me, Allen Roman, and the incredible painter and friend Jennifer Wang. Without spoiling too much (read the comics!), we started and finished this project within 2 weeks. The goal was to finish 6 pages each before San Francisco Zine Fest 2024. It was stressful, but immensely fulfilling to work together on this and just make comics. We hope to see you again, with more stories from our

hearts. - Allen

Hi y’all!! This is my first six page comic!! I learned so much from collaborating with Allen and reading and studying his progress and gorgeous paneling and pacing — and from us driving each other to make this project in just two weeks! There’s nothing better to me than the feeling of putting a story or an experience close to my heart into comics, and it was a really important experience.

Hope to bring y’all many more stories from us :) Thanks for reading! -Jennifer
