The company was launched in 2010 by a group of independent creators looking for a change in the industry. With Freeman at the helm, Action Lab Entertainment publishes a mix of all-ages and adult comics, the latter of which are stamped with the Action Line: Danger Zone seal of approval. “I also have a four-year-old that I have to manage as well.” “I’m really just the guy who tries to coordinate everything and make sure we’re running as a well-oiled machine,” he said, taking a call with PW. As evidenced by the company’s recent success and future plans, it’s an impressive balancing act. Freeman, you might call him, is teaching and working with faculty by day, and managing book projects and distribution through Diamond Comics Distributors – during his free time and on the weekends. While he is president of the young comics company, now in its fourth year, he’s also a professor and serves as chair of the political science and public administration department at University of North Carolina Pembroke.

On a recent Thursday, Kevin Freeman had his office door shut as he answered questions about Action Lab Entertainment.
