Creating your first comic can be intimidating, and the process can be quite isolating, but Winnipeg has an incredible community of artists who not only produce outstanding work, but support and encourage one another as well.

Co-founders, Matt Dyck and Hely Schumann, created COMRAD: The Winnipeg Comic Anthology as a way to celebrate local comic creators and welcome new artists to the medium.

The Guiding Principles of COMRAD are to celebrate local artists, encourage artists to make comics by giving them an accessible way to create books and give readers a place to discover Winnipeg talent.

Comrad Comics returns to WPRFM on Sunday, April 6
