Dave Baker and Nicole Goux tell us how they kick ass in collaboration and set themselves up for success in self-publishing.

To kick off season two of this illustrious program, we welcome three extraordinary creators. To start, we’ve got legendary artist/writer, Adam Hughes, who talks about his creative philosophy, the pivots he’s taken to evolve his career, and much more. Then, it’s self-publishing master Ryan Burke, who talks about building a successful comic from the ground up as a writer without an extensive bibliography. Finally, the spectacular man known as David Booher hops on in to talk about sticking to the grind regardless of how much you work, about pursuing his passion for years before it finally caught some traction, and about why he loves what he does.

As I’m writing this description, this may be my favorite episode we’ve made so far. I hope you dig it.

Happy Free Comic Book Day!
