On this episode of Comic Book Yeti's Cryptid Creator Corner we welcome David Hazan back to the podcast. David is here to discuss his newest Mad Cave Studios series Kosher Mafia with issue #1 hitting your LCS on August 7th. The series is written by David with artwork by Sami Kivela, colors by Ellie Wright, and lettered by Simon Bowland. 

Kosher Mafia takes place in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1936. It tells the story of Howard Berkowicz, the bookkeeper for the Jewish Mob who finds himself on the wrong end of an enforcer's gun when he tries to spur the Kosher Mafia into action against the rising tide of domestic Nazism in the German American Bund. 

David and I talk about his research into this time period for Kosher Mafia, Sami Kivela's incredible artwork, wrapping up Nottingham, and making unsafe choices, creatively speaking.
