Author Robert Renteria partners with Smarter Comics™ to bring his life-inspiring story to younger children
AURORA, Ill. (March 18, 2010) - From English to Spanish and now to graphic novel, "Little Barrio," a comic book based on the book, "From the Barrio to the Board Room" by Robert Renteria as told to Corey Blake, will be released this July by Writers of the Round Table Press, providing a resource for schools, governments and parents, or anyone who wants to promote education, a sense of pride and accomplishment, and self-esteem within the youth of today's communities.
Renteria has partnered with Smarter Comics™, a new company owned by Franco Arda based in Silicon Valley that creates comic books by taking popular non-fictions books, summarizing them and illustrating them into a comic. "Little Barrio" is the biographical story in comic form of Renteria's life that has taken him from the ghetto of East LA to being a successful businessman and now civic leader. Round Table Companies President Corey Blake will oversee the creation of the comic book with Creative Director Nathan Brown. Brown will collaborate on the illustrations of the 50 page book with artist Shane Clester, who has drawn for leading comic book publisher IDW, Hasbro, Scholastic, Macmillan, and Times of London.
