This episode— Shah Emami chats with comic book writer Richard Douek. Richard is the writer of the upcoming Sea of Sorrows for IDW. Sea of Sorrows is the first horror-based comic in a while that’s actually creeped Shah out. It’s a horror/adventure story steeped with Mike Mignola-esque visuals.

Aside from Sea of Sorrows, Richard has worked on his creator owned books Road of Bones and Gutter Magic. Add Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to his list of credits.

During this talk, Shah and Richard talk about some of their favorite comics (Transmetropolitan, Immortal Hulk, Ghost Rider), working in freelancing, how Richard broke into comics, future projects and more.

They also go into the current state of comic shops and local businesses during COVID-19. Support your comic shop any way you can. Curbside delivery or paying for books to get shipped. Anything helps!
