  • Comicbook GOLD!

    David Harper, 2024 Eisner nominated (the “Oscars of comics”) for his work on SKTCHD, is incredibly knowledgable about comics past & present, as well as the process of taking comics stories from inspiration to eyeball. His guests are some of the best & brightest comicsfolk in the universe. His interviews are fun, informative, and thought provoking. An indispensable resource for anyone who wants to work in conics, and also just marvelous for *anyone* who loves comics.
