We talk about Vali’s crossover from writing for the likes of 30 Rock to comics, Jun-Pierre’s artistic progression on a first formal graphic novel, and the trouble with conspiracy theories, among much, much more!

Creannotators is an audio annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!
