About Jerzy Drozd
“Hi! my name is Jerzy Drozd, and I am a cartoonist and teaching artist. I wrote and drew Science Comics: Rockets with my wife, Anne Drozd. I am one of the artists of The Warren Commission Report.
I lead cartooning workshops for children and teens in libraries and schools, as well as for teachers who want to bring comics to the classroom. I’m a member of the Ohio Arts Council’s Teaching Artist Roster. I also podcast about comics and how to make them.
I’ve drawn special projects for Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, Marvel Comics, VIZ Media, and others. I am currently working on a middle-grade fantasy comic called Baron von Bear and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue.”
