Comic Book Industry Name Pronunciation Guide
We at I Read Comic Books have, well, a problem pronouncing the names of the incredible people who create, assist, and publish comic books.
As a result of this troubling issue, we have started a list of names and the pronunciations as a way to help ourselves, but also to help the general comics public.
For the various pronunciations provided, we will be following the Pronunciation spelling for English guide as defined on Wikipedia.
If you have any names we missed, are a creator who would like your name added, or think we messed something up, shoot us an email (ircbpodcast at gmail dot com).
