Storycomic Presents:
This is your home for stories about comics or comic-based stories. We have a great time talking with storytellers and artists. We focus on all genres of prose, children's books, graphic novels, illustrations, and the people behind these works that bring joy and inquiry.
I created Storycomic initially as a publishing house for my own work, but as I connected with more artists and authors, I realized that there are many creatives who have great work to share and great advice to give.
What started out as an occasional Livestream platform to chat with my industry peers has turned into an acclaimed and internationally received podcast which has been streamed in over 50 countries.
