Episode Details

Zach Zeman joins The USDN Podcast to break down GHOSTWOOD - a genre-blending indie comic exploring paranormal investigations, hidden government agencies, and supernatural mysteries.

In this episode, we dive into the creation of Ghostwood, a world where a secret organization monitors paranormal activity across a fictional U.S. state - uncovering cases that go far beyond traditional crime stories.

We explore:

•  Zach’s transition from screenwriting to comics 
•  The influence of horror classics like EC Comics, X-Files, and Buffy 
•  The structure behind Ghostwood’s “monster-of-the-week” storytelling 
•  Long-term worldbuilding and character arcs 
•  The realities of indie comic creation and distribution 

If you’re into horror, supernatural storytelling, and indie comics, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
