Spencer Church

A former aspiring comic book artist, Spencer is the cohost of the DPW Podcast as well as a short story writer and avid reader.

We begin the episode by discussing whether or not we would take a job writing comics for DC or Marvel if it meant we could no longer create our own original content. After that, we welcome a special guest to the show.

Dan Nokes is a comic book artist, writer, novelist, and many other things. We have a long conversation with Dan about his early work, his recent novel, his highs and lows in the comic book industry/convention circuit, his success with Kickstarter, and numerous other topics.
