Story x Story #136: Behind The Story With Edward Welch (Comics)

This week, Nigel and Tazziii welcome manga creator Edward Welch to unpack the story that is his journey from British Museum to full-time manga creator. Edward is the 2021 winner of the Japanese Embassy’s Manga Jiman competition and gives us his perspective on finding your way as an independent comic creator.

We talk about how he has used his academic background in history and experiences from other industries to power the work he does today. We also get into the manga Edward is reading…and why keeping dinosaurs in Zoo doesn’t always end in disaster!

Gina July 5, 2023 No Comments
