About this episode

Nigel and Tazziii interview Mereida Fajardo about her journey in comics and her work in Bristol.

This week, Nigel and Tazziii sit down with Mereida Fajardo, a Bristol-based comic and zine-maker, illustrator, and arts facilitator, to explore her journey and deep relationship with the physical medium of comics. Mereida shares how The Dark Knight first got her into comics, and the critical education decision that saw her follow her passion rather than what was expected of her by others. We also dig into her work as an event organiser and what she is building in Bristol for comic and zine makers through Zinezilla.
