Comic News Insider: Episode 1291 is now available for free download! Click on the link or follow on Spotify/subscribe on iTunes!

In a last minute special episode, Jimmy and pal Greg Pak chat about his new illustrated book of poetry called I BELONG TO YOU/MOTHERLAND. It's about growing up half Korean in Texas and not quite belonging but totally bound to the flora and fauna of the place. It's also about lessons, memory and the death of his mother.  Great photos by both his mother and Greg with original art by comic book artists like Shing Yin Khor, Sean Chen, Ethan Young and more. Greg talks about the origin of the book as a libretto for a choral group in Texas that will perform it in a few weeks. They also chat about growing up as latchkey kids and having the freedom to explore and do things that were normal back then. A sense of belonging is a strong part of the book as well and Greg tells of us his struggles. It's also a lovely tribute to his mother and he talks of the joy of growing up with her and the goodness she instilled in him. A beautiful memoir indeed!

The book is out June 25th and will be exclusively available for purchase via the Austin, Texas comic book shop Dragon's Lair. It will be available elsewhere shortly after.
