Jeff Lafferty shares how his love for comics first began. As a kid, his dad would take him to the gas station and point him toward the spinner racks, letting him pick up four comics for a dollar. Titles like The Avengers and Fantastic Four sparked his imagination, while early encouragement from his mom—teaching him how to draw simple things like a gorilla face—planted the seed for a lifelong interest in art.
Seeing that comics were drawn worlds full of adventure, Jeff realized he could create his own stories through art. This moment marked the beginning of his journey into comics, blending childhood wonder with the discovery of storytelling through drawing.
