Comic Timing – Episode 87

1 Comment

We are back, and bigger than a bread box! Or something like that. This week we are joined once again by Shawn Pryor of PKD Media, as well as returning guest Al Sparrow of Thugs, and newcomer Eric Peterson, to discuss independent comics! We run the gambit, discussing everything from why we buy to why we don’t, and everywhere in between. We also discuss the changing distribution climate, and where the industry might be going over the next few years. It’s fun discussion not to be missed!

Independent Comics! There are plenty of them, with plenty of different genres out there. Here on Episode 36, I will try my best to get the creator perspective on the current state of independent comics, while hopefully spreading the word on their work. In Episode 36 Part 1, I am joined by Dave Wachter of the fantastic indie book, Scar Tissue. Dave is quite the guy, and has plenty to say, so I do hope you enjoy it all and check out his book!

In Episode 36 Parts 2 and 3, I will be joined by Steve Bryant, who finally managed to record an interview! Yup, the curse has been broken. You know I kid, Steve. Anyway, that will come out over the course of the next week or so. Good times, good stuff for all! Or something like that.
