MangaNEXT: Sit-down with Tania Del Rio

Posted on October 12, 2006 by Brigid Alverson

Our conversation with Tania Del Rio is up at Mangacast. I’m a fan of Tania’s columns at PopCultureShock, which have sparked many lively discussions on this site, and I’m looking forward to reading her new book, Mangaka America, which features art and how-tos by global manga artists. I got a look at the advance copy at the con, and it looks beautiful. Of course Tania also writes and draws Sabrina the Teenage Witch for Archie Comics. She talks about all this on our podcast, as well as a possible future project: a knitting manga. As busy as she is, Tania was gracious enough to join my panel on Manga4Kids and sit down with us for a chat afterwards, and she seemed to be having a good time.

Coincidentally, Tania just posted her latest column—and it’s about MangaNEXT! And she’s done a webcomic about it too.
