Hey Squares fans, you're getting a twofer this week!
In this epsiode, Paul talks to comic book writer and artist Dan Membiela about his comics "Good Agent" and "Under God" and to comic book writer and letterer Kylar Merrell about his company Foreign Press Comics. The guys also get into the difference between writing scripts for an artist and writing scripts that you have to draw yourself as well as the days of buying comics off the grocery store rack and more!
Dan's comic "Under God" was picked by publisher Band of Bards. Previews catalog has the pre-order cut off date as April 18 for a June 28 release date, so get in your orders now at Band of Bards (https://bandofbards.com/product/under-god/?mc_cid=3a7a65988d&mc_eid=040a1d512d)
Here's the official description for "Under God":"
In the Holy United States of America, Samantha Skylin is selected to go on a mission of mercy to the walled off land of Unbelievers. The righteous Almsgiving Day pilgrimage goes awry when Samantha is captured by the Unbelievers she’s sworn to save. Outside of the safety of the theocratic bubble for the first time in her life Samantha’s beliefs are challenged as she’s forced to hear a different point of view."
Kylar is the founder of Foreign Press Comics. Check out all of his comics at https://www.foreignpresscomics.com/. His comics include "Fletcher Cross," "Outlaw Country," and the soon-to-be released anthology "Comics From the Kitchen."
