Special Edition - A Chat with Comics Creator Gabriel Dunston

The Joy of Gaming Podcast, Special Edition:

A Chat with Comics Creator Gabriel Dunston

On this special edition episode, we once again morph into the Joy of Comics Podcast to bring you a conversation with one of indie-comics’ newest and most original creators, Gabriel Dunston. Last year, Gabriel successfully Kickstarted the first volume of Purgatory Pub - a graphic novel that he both wrote and illustrated that imagines what would happen if the angel and devil left your shoulders and met up at the nearest watering hole. Book one was released earlier this year to excellent reviews, and now Gabriel is embarking on a new Kickstarter adventure to fund the next volume. 

We were eager to talk to Gabriel about the book, of course, and a little bit about his Kickstarter experiences, but soon the conversation took on a life of its own. From Gabriel’s love of Spider-man, to his quest to develop his own artistic style, to the publication of his first mini-comics and beyond, what emerged was a real, in-depth look at the life of an indie-comics creator. Oh, and as Gabe is a gamer too, we threw in a little Pokemon, Unreal Tournament and Marathon chat for good measure. You can thank us later.

So take a quick trip over to Kickstarter’s comic section, and when you’re finished, be sure to join us for a night of debate and debauchery at the Purgatory Pub. After all, it’s apparently the only place in town where “Your glass is always half something.” This…is the Joy of Comics.
