Con Artists #08 – The Madness of Marketing

6 January 2023 Invisible Editor Comments 0 Comment

It’s been over a year since D. Bethel sat down with Taurus Comics’ Kyrun Silva to talk about reading, making, and selling comics. Since both hosts recently released new books, they spend some time to focus on what is probably (for some) the least fun part of the comics creation process: marketing.
