Wayne’s Comics Podcast #590: Interview with Jason Copland May 28, 2023

Show notes

Jason Copland from Full Tilt at Zoop.gg is the guest this week in Episode #590 of the Wayne’s Comics Podcast! Copland, known for this work for Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, IDW, and others, has recently been focusing on Full Tilt, a punk rock/DIY Indie comic being crowdfunded on Zoop.gg. It’s described this way: “After five years of hard work, passion and sacrifice, the epic indie crime-scifi-noir comic by Jason Copland is FINALLY being collected here for the first time! FULL TILT is a perfect book for those that love gritty noir tales, dystopian future realities and kinetic black and white art. Think Sin City meets The Godfather in the setting of Blade Runner.” We discuss what made Full Tilt happen, who the characters are, and what else he is working on! This project will be funded if it reaches its goal by Thursday, June 8, so be sure to support it today!

Wayne’s Comics Podcast #589: Interviews with Wells Thompson/Dalton Shannon and Sage Coffey May 21, 2023

Show notes

Episode #589 has interviews with Wells Thompson/Dalton Shannon and Sage Coffey!

Wells and Dalton are back, this time with their Kickstarter for Depths: Book One! It’s described this way: “Depths: Book One is a 112-page graphic novel about grief, depression, and the strength it takes to carry on. It's a story about overcoming impossible odds when even taking a single step seems overwhelming. It's the story that made us want to make comics.” We discuss what made this very personal tale happen, who the characters are, and what else they are working on! This project will be funded if it reaches its goal by Wednesday, May 31, at 7:15 p.m. EDT, so support it today!

Then everything wraps up with my interview with Sage Coffey, who is crowdfunding Wine Ghost Goes to Hell on BacketKit. It’s described this way: “When Wine Ghost was alive, she was an alcohol-soaked train wreck. Now that she’s dead… Well, not all that much has changed. When an old friend from her living days unexpectedly dies, Wine Ghost is faced with a lot more responsibility than she bargained for. She learned the ropes to hell a long time ago but it's his first rodeo. And, boy, howdy, it's a wild one.” Best known for their work in The New Yorker, The Nib, The Washington Post and on the GLAAD 2021 nominated video game BUGSNAX, Sage Coffey is a trans nonbinary cartoonist living in Chicago, IL! Be sure to back this excellent project before it concludes on June 1 at 11:00 p.m. EDT!
