In this episode, Eric and Keegan speak to Brian Judge @one_and_only_comics about his comics, learning comics, his process, his art choices, and his hatred of Batman. We discuss three versions of the color for Keegan’s comic Death Maze #1. We also review Deadly Class Vol. 1 and Witchdoctor Vol 1.
In this episode, we welcomed guest Willy Sasso, screenwriter and co-writer of The Nefarious Mr. Green Issue #2 comic that is currently in production. Willy talks writing, adapting your stories between mediums, and of course, Star Wars. He’s currently working on a musical, but you can find his comedy album here and a film he made (that we mention on the show) called Found Footage, can be found here. We also review two comics. Joker by Brian Azzarello and Drinking at the Movies by Julia Wertz.
This week’s episode goes through Eric’s second draft of his first issue of The Dealmaker. Eric and Keegan also discuss finding artists briefly. They also review Pyongyang by Guy Delisle and Spy X Family by Tatsuya Endo.
In this special Episode 3, Eric and Keegan discuss Keegan’s journey of creating his first comic “The Nefarious Mr. Green” (still in production at the time of this episode being posted). Follow along with the discussion of the different artists and example pages by going to this post on their website dumbcomiccreators.com. Keegan worked with several different artists on test pages before ending with Luis Santamarina whose website is mitomante.com.ar
They also discussed comics they read this week, including Eric’s pick Drops of God by Tadashi Agi and Keegan’s pick Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life by Ulli Lust
Whoooaaaa this podcast is SLIGHTLY tedious…if slightly can be considered interchangable with ENORMOUSLY. We read Eric’s first draft of his comic script on this episode. We talk about formatting. We talk about intention. We talk about what his script is missing and keys to making it better. It’s VERY CONSTRUCTIVE…But good news for listeners, if you give up on the script talk, we’ve dropped some songs in as chapter markers to skip ahead if you want! We also review and talk about Phil Falco’s comic Haunting #1. And we discuss what we’ve read this week. Thanks for listening!
