Jamar Nicholas is in the house! And we couldn't be happier to have him. Creator of the hit kids' graphic novel, Leon: Protector of the Playground, Jamar kickstarted his cartooning career in 1997 with the self-published Jamar Chronicles. Following his creation of the webcomic Detective Boogaloo: Hip-Hop Cop, Jamar became an editorial cartoonist for the Philadelphia Tribune. His most acclaimed work may be his graphic novel adaptation of Geoffrey Canada's memoir Fist, Stick, Knife, Gun, which won several awards. Now, through a partnership with Scholastic, Leon is getting his own new series of graphic novels, starting with Leon the Extraordinary next week. All that, and he also teaches!
You can follow Jamar on Twitter @jamarnicholas and on Instagram @jamar_nicholas_cartoonist. And you should go buy Leon the Extraordinary on October 4!
