Archiving Mid-Century Comics & Americana With Jerico Woggon

Artist and comic archivist Jerico Woggon chats with Washington Square Review editor Melissa Ford Lucken. Woggon, grandson of Ink Pot award recipient Bill Woggon who created the Archie comics’ character Katy Keene, inherited his grandfather’s decades old research, original art, and documents collection. While the mission of organizing the truckload of materials into an archive is new and ongoing, this artist has been living and leading in creative worlds his entire life.

Note: The Katy Keene character discussed in this episode is the same character of the CW’s short-lived Katy Keene television series.
