The Capes and Tights Podcast welcomes Joseph Schmalke back to the podcast to discuss his latest comic book Seven Years In Darkness!

Schmalke is the creator of titles such as Murder Hobo, We Don’t Kill Spiders, The Electric Black, Cherry Blackbird and many more. He has also worked Phantom Starkiller, Count Draco Knuckleduster and more. All of this while maintaining the duties as co-publisher of his very own Black Caravan comics.

This time around on the podcast, Justin and Schmalke mainly discuss his latest horror comic, Seven Years In Darkness, while touching on a number of other books and subjects.

Additionally, Capes and Tights and our friends over at Galactic Comics and Collectibles have a store exclusive variant cover of Seven Years In Darkness #1. The cover art was done by our friend Bob Tkacik and is available for purchase online!
