Joe Talks Comics

This week, Joe talks with indie comic creator Zach Chapman about his current Kickstarter campaign, Dino Knights.

Dino Knights is "a science fiction arthurian fantasy comic", featuring "dinosaurs, knights, time travel and evil robots". It is the start of a brand new ongoing series for fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Phillip K Dick, Once & Future and more!

The campaign is for the first two issues, and it is live on Kickstarter until July 3rd at ⁠kickstarter.com/projects/houseofblood/dino-knights-the-once-and-future-knight⁠. Please go support it if you can, as projects like this won't happen without your support. It's vital to their success.

I read the first two issues before the interview, and I would recommend if it piques your interest! Between the characters, story, world and the art, this was a really fun read with major Saturday Morning Cartoon vibes, and I'm excited to read more.

You can find Zach Chapman across the internet through linktr.ee/HouseofBlood.
