What does it take to create your own comic book from scratch?
This week on Talkin' Comics Podcast, AJ sits down with writer, artist, and creator Dee Hausner, the mastermind behind Kid Nebula. They discuss the journey of creating an indie comic, building community in comics, crowdfunding through Kickstarter, and turning life's toughest moments into creative inspiration.
Dee shares how the loss of family members helped shape his storytelling, the creation of Kid Nebula, his love of classic comics and Saturday morning cartoons, and why family-friendly comics still matter today.
Plus, hear stories about the indie comics community, collaborations with creators like Mike Alger, Dennis Valencia, and more.
If you're a comic creator, comic fan, or someone dreaming of making your own book, this episode is for you.
