Superman. Captain America. Wolverine. You’ve heard of these superheroes, and most everyone has held a comic from Marvel or DC in their hands. But there is an entire world of independent comics waiting for curious readers beyond the shadow of these two companies.
In this episode’s Story School, writer Nate Chen joins hosts Timothy Deal and Nick Hayden to explore the width and breadth, as well as the why and how, of indie comics, including discussions of his own upcoming title, Hexwood.
We follow up with Our Take on Tales to share some of the stories, comics and otherwise, that we’ve been enjoying lately.
If you’re sick of superheroes, but still want a rousing tale that combines art and creative vision, this one’s for you. Listen in to the latest episode of your premiere podcast on storytelling, Derailed Trains of Thought.
