Sometimes a dumb idea actually turns into something.  You know, like telling your wife that you’re starting a comic publisher. Or not telling her and just kind of doing it until one day neither of you can deny that this is exactly what’s going on.

I’ve never done that. But you know who has? Today’s guest Mark Bernal from Lesser Known Comics. So listen in as I pick his brain about how you can sneaky start a publisher and some of the best parts of doing so as a relative newcomer.

This episode is brought to you in part by Lesser Known Comics. Partly because it just makes too much sense not to do it, and partly because they have a Kickstarter going where you can pick up some print copies of their comics.

Learn such things as:

  • What are the benefits of listening to employees?
  • How do you just back into running a comic publisher?
  • What are some benefits to knowing Patrick Hickey Jr.?
  • And so much more!

You can find Mark and Lesser Known Comics on Twitter @LesserKComics, Instagram @lesserknowncomics, or the Lesser Known Comics website.
