Calvin Reid

Calvin Reid

Calvin Reid is an American artist, journalist, writer and editor. He is a Lower East Side pioneer whose art has had very little exposure, and whose writing career has overshadowed his graphic arts career.

Reid is a contributing editor for "Publishers Weekly" and is also the head of their comics department. He heads the magazine's annual African American issue, and co-edits their online comics newsletter "PW Comics Week" with Heidi MacDonald.

Reid was also an editor of graphic novels for Reed Graphica, an imprint of Reed Press. He edited the graphic novels "Comanche Moon" by Jack Jackson and "David Chelsea in Love" by David Chelsea.

Originally from Washington, DC, Reid has a degree in Art Education from Howard University and a Masters Degree in Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University. He moved to New York City in 1981 to be an artist, and took a part-time job as a typist for "Library Journal" before joining "Publishers Weekly" as a news editor in 1986.
