This week on the AIPT Comics podcast special guest Chip Mosher joins us to talk about his already, but still running Kickstarter Blacking Out. Chip talks about creating this crime drama with artist Peter Krause, color artist Giulia Brusco, letterer Ed Dukeshire, and book designer Tom Muller. We also get into Chip’s 4 decades of working in comics at Comixology as Head of Content, marketing at BOOM! Studios and Oni, and more. Oh, and stay to the end to hear about Chip’s hobby of genealogy and how that ties into one of the Kickstarter tiers.
Before we dive in with Chip, Dave and Forrest check in about the latest and greatest comic book news, review comics, and discuss books out next week.
