Since this episode David has gone on to write not only Savage Avengers, but a ton of Marvel books, but this was while he was still coming up, though he had built up a head of stream.
In this episode I talk to 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.
