Episode Details

On this episode of the USDN Podcast, host The Chairman sits down with creator David Biggs, founder of Disco Punk Comics, to explore the origins of his upcoming indie comic series Once Upon a Hive in the West.

Inspired by spaghetti westerns and the strange realities of insect life cycles, the series imagines a gritty frontier where bugs become gunslingers, outlaws, and legends of the Wild West.

David shares the story behind launching Disco Punk Comics, the lessons he's learned navigating the indie comics scene, and how collaboration and community are shaping the future of his publishing label.

The conversation also dives into the realities of indie comic production - crowdfunding, working with artists, building creative teams, and balancing the passion of storytelling with the business of comics.

For anyone interested in indie comics, Kickstarter publishing, and creator-driven storytelling, this episode offers an inside look at what it takes to build a comic from the ground up.
