LEIMERT PARK : Reception to Honor Comic Book Creator

The Black Creative Professionals Assn. is hosting a reception for comic book artist and publisher David G. Brown Friday night.

Brown recently won a $10,000 grant from the city Cultural Affairs Department to create a “community comic book” that will be distributed to inner-city neighborhoods.

Brown, a graphic artist, gained attention three years ago after creating the “L.A. Phoenix” comic book. In the series, the super-hero Phoenix rises from the ashes of burned-out buildings to battle crime across the city.
