LOS ANGELES, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Prolific writer and film producer Kevin E. Allison will be signing two of his latest graphic novels at the Los Angeles Book Festival, held on the sprawling campus of the University of Southern California this Saturday and Sunday, April 26 and 27.
Allison’s sci-fi epic about the relationship of man and machine, ‘Gladiator Bots‘, sold out at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2024, and will be available at the LA event, along with his satiric graphic novel, ‘My Life Matters‘, which details what happens when a witch doctor’s spell has a Trumpian cop and a Black activist switch identities.
“Mounting a film, whether it has a big or small budget, can take several years,” the graduate of the prestigious UCLA Theater, Film and Television professional program said, “so I wanted to first launch these stories as graphic novels.”
Allison’s first film was the romcom ‘Hashtag Luv Swag’, which can be seen on several platforms, including Peacock and Amazon Prime, and he already has his next graphic novel, ‘The Last Train From Allensworth’, in production.
“It’s based on the true story of one of the first towns in California to be established and governed by African-Americans, and it definitely needs to come to life on both the page and the screen,” he said.
A sequel to ‘Gladiator Bots’ is also already in the works, and Allison promises to keep telling the stories that are meaningful to him.
“We are living in an ever-changing world,” he said, “and now more than ever, we need creative content across all media that both entertains and enlightens us.”
You can listen to a full interview with Allison on the People of Distinction program on CBS Radio, hosted by LA actor and filmmaker Benji Cole, at the author’s website, kevineallisonbooksmylifematters.com.
Both ‘Gladiator Bots’ and ‘My Life Matters’ will be available throughout the weekend event at booth #282, where Allison will be signing his books on Saturday from 12:30 to 1:30pm.
