![]() ![]() Though Kojo has been on WAMU 88.5 for 23 years, this is the first time he has had the opportunity to reach out to an audience of kids, most of whom until recently had been in school during our live broadcast. This show is part of the “Kojo For Kids” series, a Kojo Nnamdi Show segment featuring guests of special interest to young listeners. We’re eager to hear their questions for Judd Winick, and yours too - if you’re a kid. Judd was one of the top writers in superhero comics for over a decade writing dozens of titles including Batman, Green Lantern, Shazam, Superman, Green Arrow. ![]() And we also welcome the students of Janney Elementary School in Northwest Washington. We welcome Judd Winick to the show to talk about Hilo, Gina and the other characters he has written about and drawn. And the latest “Hilo” book was just published - the first starring Hilo’s friend Gina in the enticingly titled: “Gina: The Girl Who Broke The World.” The graphic novels in the “Hilo” series, now seven books strong, have climbed to the top of The New York Times best sellers list. Then he decided to write a whole book of comics about a character of his own: “Hilo,” the boy who crashed to Earth. As an adult, he wrote for DC Comics - stories about Green Lantern, Batman and Catwoman among other superheroes. When he was a kid, Judd Winick loved reading comics in the newspaper. ![]() Listen live by streaming the show on this page or by tuning in to 88.5 FM in the Washington, D.C.
