David and Scott host a massive kid-friendly comics in this month’s Indie Show.  Alexa Kitchen is a budding children’s cartoonist and graphic novel storyteller.  She’s been creating comics and comic books since the age of five.  This past year, she released Drawing Comics Is Easy (Except When It’s Hard). Dave Roman is the acclaimed creator of Jax Epoch and the Quicken Forbidden and Teen Boat.  His web comic Astronaut Elementary is featured in ‘Lunchbox Funnies.’  Dave is also an associate editor at Nickelodeon Magazine. Dean Trippe is one of the masterminds behind ‘Lunchbox Funnies’ with his web comic Butterfly and the super hero fashion site Project Rooftop. His work also appears in AdHouse Books’ Superior Showcase #1.  Add a quick couple of Indie-related event announcement and it’s one jam-packed show.

In this incredibly bi-polar January Indie Show, hosts David and Scott speak with two completely opposite artists.  Gene Yang was a finalist for the 2006 National Book Award for the Young People’s Literature category with his graphic novel, American Born Chinese published by First Second.  Gene has also explored comics used as an educational tool and has created The Rosary Comic Book out by Pauline Books & Meida that is an adaptation of the Rosary Prayer.  On the flip-side, Molly Crabapple is a burlesque dancer, model and illustrator of Mr. Sketchy Official Rainy Day Coloring Book whose goal is to breathe life into the live model sketch session.  Tune in for one doosey of an Indie Show hour.

Up first on this special returning episode of the ‘Indie Show,’ it’s the creators of Xeric-Grant winning Action Philosophers, writer Fred Van Lente and artist Ryan Dunlavey who chat about this important comic series, how they met and exactly what is a ‘comic-supremacist.’  Then it’s the Isotope Award winning comic creator, Rob Osborne who discusses his books 1000 Steps to World Domination and Sunset City: For Active Senior Living.

It’s the biggest Indie Show we’ve ever broadcast! Join Scott and David for a talk with some of the most established creators to come from the independent scene. Harvey Pekar (American Splendor, Our Cancer Year, The Quitter) for the first half-hour, Matt Madden (99 Ways to Tell A Story, In Style, A Fine Mess, The New Yorker) & Jessica Able (Art Babe, La Perdida) join us the second half. ***This episode has been edited but will be available in its’ entirity soon.
