This is a reminder to join us today, *February 25, 10-11 am (PST)* for our
membership meeting. We’ll be hosting the panel — *Comics After COVID*.
We’re excited to announce a *NEW ADDITION* to the panel, *Amy Chu*
(writer, *Red
Sonja*, *Kiss*, and much more). She’ll be joined by *Anna Warren Cebrian*
(Illusive Comics & Isle of Gamers) and *Gamal Hennessy* (*The Business of
Independent Comic Book Publishing*) to address the challenges facing the
community.
The panelists will be discussing issues such as: How comic shops can adapt
to laws that not only reduce the risk of contagion but make it difficult
for store owners to pay the rent? What can we do about contracts that made
sense before the pandemic but create real problems today? Will we ever be
able to go back to in-person comic-cons? And how can creators, publishers,
and stores thrive in today’s new world of large online platforms?
Interim Director Jeff Trexler will moderate the discussion, and there will
be plenty of time for live Q&A and discussion — we want to hear your
thoughts about the new landscape and what we can do to help.
If you’re unable to attend the event, make sure to check back because we’ll
be posting a video of the panel after. If you have any questions or
suggestions of topics to cover, please reach out to us at feedback at cbldf.org.
We’d love to hear from you!

Anna Warren Cebrian

A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Anna has a BA in Studio Art and MBA
in e-Business. She decided to try her hand at being a comic shop owner
after a few years of running an indie publishing company (a terribly naive
decision she openly admits), and took over a former Brian’s Books in Santa
Clara, and thus Illusive Comics & Games, LLC was born in June 2007. In
2014, it was clear the tabletop gaming portion of Illusive had outgrown the
space available, and in 2015 she opened Isle of Gamers, also in Santa
Clara. Even through the pandemic, Anna makes sure the shop does what it can
for local non-profits, with whom she has often run event fundraisers for in
the past. She has also worked with many libraries, including the Santa
Clara and Menlo Park Libraries to build their annual Comic Cons.
Mother to an amazing special needs child, Anna splits her time these days
between being a Distance Learning aide and telecommuting running both shops.
Gamal Hennessy
Gamal is an experienced entertainment transactions attorney with expertise
in comic book publishing and IP licensing. He began his career as the
general counsel for the anime and manga company Central Park Media before
moving to Marvel Comics to become their International Publishing Manager.
After Marvel, he set up Creative Contract Consulting to help independent
creators and publishers protect their rights and maximize their business
models. In 2020, joined GlobalComix as their General Counsel and VP of
Content and he crowdfunded a book entitled *The Business of Independent
Comic Book Publishing *that hit more than 600% of its funding goal. He is
currently working on the follow up book, *The Business of Freelance Comic
Book Publishing* which is scheduled for release in the fall of 2022.
