Join us on Creator’s Corner as we chat with Mark Dooley, creator of The Actual, Semi-True Adventures of Mark and Dee and Genesis of a Fanboy. Mark shares his journey from a comic-obsessed kid in the 1960s to an indie publisher with over a dozen books under his belt. We talk about the 1966 Batman craze, finding love in rural Indiana, and why you don’t need a cape to be a hero. It’s a heartfelt look at geek culture, resilience, and the power of autobiographical storytelling. This episode is brought to you by Live Bearded.
