UVC Magazine
Posted in Animated People, I'm So Vain on December 12th, 2007 by SharvoniqueThanks to Jennifer Hachigian Jerrard and Rich Watson, I recently had the opportunity to write an article for issue #4 of UVC Magazine, the Urban Voice in Comics.
Founded and published by Ron King, “UVC is a hip, exciting, bimonthly entertainment magazine of pure adrenaline for fans of comics and related media that brings you the best of everything from an urban perspective.”

Issue #4 focuses on Black women in comics and expanded into other genres like animation. My article was about Black women characters in animation, and proved to be a very interesting topic. I also mentioned a few Black women animators, including Shawnee and Shawnelle Gibbs, the creators of Adopted by Aliens.
