Benjamin Marra brings doses of 80s nostalgia and blood-soaked subversiveness through his comics. His books like Night Business, American Blood, Terror Assaulter, Jesusfreak all showcase Marra’s boundary breaking talents as a cartoonist.

Despite consuming comics, movies and art, it wasn’t until he had a run-in with Darick Robertson’s creator-owned book Space Beaver that pushed him to start making comics professionally. And now, he’s known as a heavyweight creator of “outlaw comics”.

Wits’ End host Shah Emami and Marra talk about Marra’s time studying at School of Visual Arts under David Mazzucchelli, overcoming fear of judgement, finishing your projects, his outlaw persona, post-pandemic life, protests, their love of Jack Kirby & more.
