John Holland discusses his new digital library of comics on Zoop and the implications for indie creators.

The campaign offers 13 comics + 3 trades (over 800 pages) spanning horror, science fiction, crime, fantasy, superhero, slice-of-life, comedy, and drama. Single issues are priced at $5, trades at $10, with bundles and a “tip jar” option if you want to toss in a little extra support. We talk about why John chose Zoop for this run, how the digital-library approach changes the way readers can discover an indie creator’s backlist, and what it means to make comics that are already finished and ready to deliver as soon as the campaign ends. If you’ve ever wanted a low-barrier way to explore a creator’s work — this is it. The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid. See more of Morgan’s Work at…
