Comic book fans are die-hards whether they’re attending a Comic-Con somewhere or stopping by their local shop to pick up the latest month’s offerings. However, with businesses adapting to life under COVID-19, that last part isn’t possible right now.

To get some perspective, The Show spoke with Valley resident Todd McFarlane, a comic artist and the President of Image Comics, the third-largest comic book publisher in North America.
