Sidewalk Ballerina Article

Check out the article by Sidewalk Ballerina's own Jillian Rodriguez on City of Walls called "Get Animated for the Brooklyn Book Festival"

"The Brooklyn Book Festival will take place this Sunday, September 13th at Brooklyn Borough Hall. This year, graphic novels and comic books play a part in this literary event, proving the significance of the public’s interest in animated literature.
One such comic is the highly anticipated 3rd installment of, “City of Walls,” from Booklyn-based Stand Alone Productions.
Writer, Shaun Noel, and illustrator, Abede Lovelace have together inked a fascinating tale of three children living in a fictional isolationist colony in modern day Asia. Dealing with violence, poverty, and the watchful eye of a powerful government, the children plan an escape.
The rise of animated movies and novels in American culture speaks volumes to the power of strong story lines and powerful imagery. Comic books like “City of Walls” are paving the way for graphic storytelling to be taken seriously among literary circles.
Check out “City of Walls” and other break through novels this week at the Brooklyn Book Festival. "

Brian K. Vaughn

When we first started out I had the honor of running into one of my favorite writers at the NY Comic Con - Brian K. Vaughn. And sometime after gushing my praise for Y: The Last Man and Runaways I gave him a copy of City of Walls #1 and here is what he said:

BRIAN: Hey, Shaun! I finally got a chance to check out City of Walls, and I thought it was really, really cool. Beautiful black-and-white art, and a great sense of place. Keep on building Kowloon, man!

All my best,

BKV

Isn't that awesome!
