This week on the show I have my good friend David Pepose, creator of Spencer and Locke, Going to the Chapel, and The O.Z., which is live on Kickstarter right now. Here's his Comixology bio:

After starting his career at DC Comics, David Pepose has gone on to write thousands of articles about comic book storytelling. SPENCER & LOCKE, Pepose's debut series with artist Jorge Santiago, Jr., has been praised by IGN as "a fiendishly fun take on an age-old classic." A St. Louis native, Pepose currently lives in Los Angeles, where he works in the television industry.

I met David years ago on the con circuit when he just had the first volume of Spencer and Locke, and I thought it was BANANAS. He pitched it as Calvin and Hobbes meets Sin City, and it absolutely delivered. Plus, he's just a very pleasant human to converse with, so we got along well.

He's been blowing up recently, and his latest book raised over $20,000 on Kickstarter...in a single day. We recorded this episode right after the Kickstarter went live, so we talk about his incredible first day, and more.

Listen to this episode if you want to learn:

How to raise $20,000 in a single day on Kickstarter
How to deal with the press and make them want to promote you
How to build a world-class network

...and much more.

I ALSO have a Kickstarter live right now, and it's launching TODAY. I would love to get even half of what David did on his first day. I've been working on Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter for a decade, and this is the first new volume of the book to launch since 2014.

I am super excited for it, and I hope you are too. Ichabod is my most beloved property, and I look forward to bringing the new evolution of the book to you.
