Woodstock, 1969–A cultural milestone in this country’s history. Now, add some vampires. Trust me, it works.

Now, picture yourself, an aspiring comic creator looking for that first step to make your idea a reality.

You’ll get both in this week’s episode, where I talk with SHP Comics founder and the writer behind their new title “Woodstake,” Shawn Hainsworth. Shawn and I begin with the origin of this great new comic, including how he developed it from concept to finished product. Shawn shares working artist Felipe Kroll and his reaction to seeing his art, which is really one of a kind.

Shawn also gives some tips on the best ways to get your work out into the world, and ways to convert a passerby at a convention into a potential new customer. He also offers a first step he thinks creators should take when it comes to making their comic.

Now that you’ve got all that, head over to https://shpcomics.com/ to get your copy of “Woodstake” (with a special offer!).
