Welcome to another explosive episode of the Comic Crusaders Podcast!

Your host, Al Mega, is joined by the insanely talented Kane Gallagher—a rising force in the world of indie comics, pulling double duty as both writer and artist of the gritty, no-holds-barred dystopian epic, THE UNDERCLASS!

What happens when society breaks down, power shifts to the brutal elite, and the people at the bottom say "enough"? The Underclass is a graphic novel that doesn't pull punches—dealing with themes of inequality, rebellion, survival, and justice, all wrapped in raw, visceral artwork and a story that'll stick with you long after you close the cover.

• Kane's journey from inspiration to creation

• The challenges (and rewards) of being both writer and artist

• Deep dive into the Underclass world: themes, characters, and message

• The Kickstarter process: what Kane's learned and what you can expect

• Exclusive scoop on campaign rewards, stretch goals, and future plans
