Guest Introduction

My guest today is John Lees, an award-winning comic book writer of THE STANDARD, AND THEN EMILY WAS GONE and QUILTE from ComixTribe. He was the co-writer, with yours truly, on the acclaimed mini-series OXYMORON: The Loveliest Nightmare, and recently knocked his first licensed property gig writing an issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe for IDW. He hails from Glasgow, Scotland, which is the locale of his latest and greatest thriller, SINK, a new mini-series which, as of this podcasts airing is now on Kickstarter.

One of the things I recommend all creators do prior to launching a KS is a SWOT analysis for their project.
