Jerry Carita is a creative who made his bones as a producer in the reality TV industry. While working on Kevin Smith‘s Comic Book Men he would consistently find himself in a comic book shop. Before he knew it, he’d started reading books like Robert Kirkman‘s The Walking Dead and became bewitched under the siren spell of sequential media. Now he’s creating his own book, currently funding on Kickstarter, called Cicada Samurai. On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast, Kristian chats with Jerry about how a bug that spawns every seventeen years inspired him to create his own comic, how Cicada Samurai is an allegory for the challenges of parenting, and how Kevin Smith inspired them both to chase their creative dreams.
