    Indie Insights: Keith Finch | Morphodroids

    In this episode, we welcome Keith Finch to discuss his journey from #comics fan to creator, the founding of Full Service Comics, and his ambitious project adapting the obscure 1985 Morphodroids toy line into a comic book series. Finch explains the meta-narrative where the toys existed within the comic's universe, distinguishing Morphodroids from Transformers, and how he assembled an international team of twenty artists led by Sergio Ríos. He also describes how he connected with the toy line's creator to digitize vintage footage while incorporating extensive backmatter and crowdfunding through Kickstarter to bring this passion project to life.
