SHOWNOTES

  • Chip Zdarsky does more than draw Sex Criminals. It's very much co-created comic that has as much of his DNA in it as Matt Fraction's. You should check out his Monster Cops, Prison Funnies, and more strips on his website.

  • Francesco Francavilla created, draws, and writes The Black Beetle. His website is a magnificent look at all sorts of his art, from convention sketches and commissions to his awesome Pulp Sunday work.

  • Kate Leth started Kate or Die and it has snowballed into getting her work with Locke & Key, Welcome to Nightvale, and has resulted in her recently-released (and awesome) Adventure Time OGN Seeing Red. Kate is the founding force behind The Valkyries. BEWARE.
