Charlie Stickney, comes on the Hall H Show to talk about his comic book, White Ash! This episode is also available on Google Play, iTunes, Stitcher, iHeart Radio and Spotify. The Hall H Show is hosted by Aaron Nabus and Alex Benedicto and is the “Voice of Independent Creators.”

Show Notes:

First of all…I just want to say that I hope you are safe and healthy. I know it’s a very scary time and that this current pandemic is a huge adjustment, especially for those with compromised immune systems and underlying health issues. I’m going on my third week of being on lockdown and dearly miss some of my family, friends and my co-workers. I even miss such mundane things such as just dropping by my favorite ramen place after work or getting some Comic Con Fit steps at the beach on a whim.

Second…I recorded eight Hall H Show episodes late last year before the coronavirus pandemic hit, featuring Omar Mora, Christie Shinn, Rylend Grant, Tony Fabro, Lord Mesa, June “Izzi” Inocencio, Trevor Frick and my guest for episode 84, Charlie Stickney, the writer and creator of the fantasy / romance / horror comic, White Ash.

Unfortunately, pre-coronavirus, work and quite a few side projects had taken up quite a bit of my time. But since all conventions and events have been been either postponed or cancelled, I have more time now – so I’ll be launching all of these episodes soon!

I enjoyed my conversation with Charlie as he has a way of speaking, a cadence, a style that accentuates his sincerity. If you follow him online, or know him personally, you can tell that he cares. He cares about creating a great story, great value and he also wants to make sure you succeed as well.

There’s a lot of gold in this episode, from talking about his early love of Lord of the Rings, Sword of Shannara and the Transformers cartoon and comic book series to succeeding at creating a comic book, building a fanbase and funding Kickstarter campaigns…while raising a family.

Speaking of Kickstarter campaigns, his comic book, White Ash, has an active campaign going on that end on April 8, 2020. So please check it out!

Thanks again for listening to my conversation with Charlie and please be safe and healthy out there!

Comics books were my first love, my gateway drug into visual storytelling.
