Comic Book Yeti's Cryptid Creator Corner- A Comic Book Interview Podcast

I’m pumped about this show because it gives me a first on the podcast to be able to talk about the transection of two visual mediums that I love, photography and comics and I couldn’t ask for a better guest to discuss all that with than Gerry Duggan (Deadpool, Uncanny Avengers, the Hulk, and the X-Men.) Gerry has a new photography book coming out this Fall called Timing/Luck which contains over 20...

It's the second episode of my new series Let's Talk Shop on the Cryptid Creator Corner podcast. My first three jobs, not including mowing lawns, were in comic book shops and the community and friendships I made there have lasted a lifetime. As the format goes, each episode features a favorite shop from comics creators I’ve talked to on the podcast. This one is brought to you courtesy of friend of...

CBCC has maintained its roots while simultaneously becoming an incredible creator interview podcast. Brad & Lisa come on the Cryptid Creator Corner...

More than any other episode in our 275 plus now, this one hits home for me and is the most personal version of me you are likely ever to get on the show. If you’ve listened to our commercials over the month of September, you should already be familiar with the UnSeen/UnHeard Anthology on Kickstarter, a 64-page anthology that collects 12 new comic short stories about dealing with disabilities or be...

It's the question that's been on Archie fans' minds for decades, will Archie pick Betty or Veronica? Tom and Dan have created a love letter to Archie Comics in both form and substance. They discuss how this issue came about, how it's okay to a...

In addition to comics, I also really love board games. In the past 7 years or so I have played so many different games, in large part thanks to CBY contributor and my friend, Dan Nixon. My favorite current game is UnMatched by Restoration Games. Dan and I hold an UnMatched Tournament at my house every January. UnMatched is the "ultimate battle between unlikely fighters" with sets that include lege...

I don't often dip back much and reminisce about my time in the music business. I'm a don't look back type of guy, but I couldn't resist on today's show sharing an anecdote or three because this project is all about music. I've got two new guests on the show with me, Rick Quinn and Dave Chisholm, who are promoting their new project Spectrum from Mad Cave Studios. There's going to be nothing like th...

I learn so much from every comic creator that comes on the Cryptid Creator Corner, whether they've been making comics for decades or they've just made one of their first comics, like today's guest: Allen Wu. Allen comes on the Cryptid Creator Corner to chat about SHENTU, which you can get here: https://thcomics.myshopify.com/  SHENTU is about an immortal rabbit girl who journeys through Ancient Ch...

When the first volume of Survival Street came out, I hadn't seen anything like it on shelves and it ended up immediately being one of my picks for the first annual Comic Book Yeti ICE or Indy Comics Excellence Awards in 2022. Who wouldn't love a satirical take on the current sad dominance of corporate culture in America and what a complete take over might look like in a not too distant dystopian f...

Things have been busy here at the Cryptid Creator Corner and we have another brand new episode this week. JOE CORALLO RETURNS and brings with him first time guest BUTCH MAPA.

Zack is back! Zack Kaplan that is, and this time I managed to steal him away from Byron to talk about his and Chris Shehan's newest series Mad Cave Studios Dark Empty Void. This first issue reminded me a bit of The Abyss (which is one of my favorite movies) so I can't wait to see where the rest of the series goes.  We also talked about Kill All Immortals, issue #3 is coming out September 25th, the...

I’m joined by a new guest on the show hanging out with me today, Jason Loo. Jason is a Toronto based Eisner Award winner and a Harvey Award nominee with credits on both sides of the isle as an artist and a writer with creator owned projects The Pitiful Human-Lizard, Afterlift, and The All Nighter and although he’s no newcomer to Marvel, he is tackling not one but two series out this fall with Were...

I'm joined today by newcomer on the show Max Hoven. I was first introduced to his work a few years ago with It Eats What Feeds It and Max is back at it again with the same creative team, co-writer and friend Aaron Crow and artist Gabriel Iumazark, with a fantastic cyberpunk horror project called Liquid Kill which has been described as Ghost In The Shell meets John Wick. The first six issues are in...

I’m always excited about getting to talk to comics creators about their projects but today I’m ecstatic. Not only do I get returning guest Pornsak Pichetshote back on the show, who is one of the nicest people in the medium, but it’s a double treat to get to introduce artist Terry Dodson on as well. They have an amazing project dropping soon called the Horizon Experiment: The Manchurian with Image...

Today is a special treat because I've got Eisner nominated, Ringo winning, and New York Times Bestselling cartoonist Sarah Andersen on the show with me to talk about her new book Adulthood Is A Gift. The new project has over 100 illustrations and 15 personal essays about her work and some of the challenges she's faced along the way.

One of the best things, if not the number one best thing about, about doing the Comic Book Yeti Cryptid Creator Corner podcast, is making new comic book friends, and boy oh boy did Austin Allen Hamblin and I hit it off in our conversation about Big Guns Stupid Rednecks.
