  • Ep. 090 - Richard Starkings pt. 2
    In the second part of our conversation with Richard Starkings we move our focus from lettering to Hip Flask and The Elephantmen. What started as a character to help market Comicraft, Hip Flask has become the centerpiece of The Elephantmen universe. A dark and gritty look at a world where the lines between man and animal are blurred, The Elephantmen embraces the widescreen format and showcases amazing artwork with smart and unique stories. Hip Flask is a series that comes out at it's own pace. Listen in to find out why it's worth the wait. Listen Now!
