Comic Bookmobile- Frank Powers 5by35

He's unmistakably visible. His suit is covered with comic expressions like bam and kapow. His hat is orange, his cape is red and his sneakers flash green with every step. His superpower is lack of embarrassment and he plunges into the dangers of artistic apathy. While other superheroes are summoned by a bright light in the sky, Frank Powers summons the light and shines it what he calls the underdog- Comic Art. His current vision is bring the art to the people. To get this idea going he has closed his brick and mortar shop - which was called Constant Con- and is now pivoting the business to a bus - he calls The Comic Bookmobile... bringing local art and art education to kids through comics and super heroes. The bus will visit schools and put on assemblies as well as class to class visits advocating literacy and art programs to all of Tucson, and eventually the state of Arizona. We sat down with the man, the myth, the legend that is Frank Powers and got a little insight as to why a comic bookmobile is needed and where he is in the development stage. I think if Frank can overcome his shy quiet demeanor he could do well in show biz. It happened to be one of my longer interviews and took several detours, which we will be able to air on future shows. Today, however, it's about the bus. We'll link to the Gofund me site- busbusbus so you can see a composite video of the presentation Frank and his partner, Natalia, put together to win Startup Tucson's Thryve competition. I don’t know if Frank will end up being the Krusty the Clown of Tucson, the mister rogers of his neighborhood, or the superhero saving schools, but I do have complete faith that Frank will continue to be celebrity using his powers for good. 1h5j1l
