Conversations about big topics in indie comics with some of the best artists in the game, hosted by Drew Lerman.
How do you get your comics to the people? Distros and shows!
Neil Brideau knows distros and shows.
A founding member of the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE) and the Chicago Zine Fest, as well as the owner and operator of Radiator Comics (a distro and publisher), Neil has built his life around helping cartoonists find readers and find one another.
He is also our guest today! The episode was extra special because Neil and I got to talk face-to-face here in Miami.
Topics include Quimby's Bookstore, Dylan Williams, having and not having collaborators, the Small Business Administration's SCORE program, wishing to clone oneself, and more. Neil also shares some practical advice to cartoonists trying to navigate the world of distros, as well as to folks dreaming of starting a distro or show of their own.
Thanks to Jason Butler for producing our program!
