We open things up with some publication news! After that, we set our arms aside and find out how to go about writing sword and sorcery stories. We break down all the nuances of the genre and the best ways to get the most out of your characters.

DBS #141: Discussing The Best Non-Superhero Comics Of The 2020s Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

We begin today's cold open by complaining about awful book influencers who charge a lot of money for terrible book reviews. Then we read an excerpt from Lonesome Dove! After all that, we settle in and talk about the best non-superhero comic books of the 2020s, or at least according to a list we found. You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @dpwpodcast. You can check out Caleb's work at http://www.calebjamesk.com.
