Dynamite Comics Zootopia Writer Jeff Parker Interview

Today, we have the pleasure of interviewing the writer behind the Negaduck and the upcoming highly anticipated Zootopia comic series from Dynamite…Jeff Parker.

Brant was initially a mentor to Johnny, who was still in high school when Parker first met him while judging an art contest. Years later, their combined talents brought to life Johnny’s vision of a kingdom of medieval characters, which became an
