Customer Reviews
Learn and laugh
It’s a tall order to be both informative as well as entertaining, but Dave and Brad manage to deliver the goods each and every time. I find myself laughin’ and learnin’ at the same time which is a wonderful combination.
Is this Dave?
Hey Brad, this could be Dave, but probably not. Comics lab is my must listen podcast, from interviews with great creators to the fantastic friendship of two creators talking about what they love. Every episode has at least one thing that you can ad to your creative tool belt, if not half a dozen. This should be a must listen to any comic creator or creative aspirant.
Thank you
For both your comments on the art of creating stories (writer here) and for your frank discussion on mental health. New subscriber and you’ve won yourself a fan. I laughed so hard and nearly cried too.
