Dean Haspiel

Brooklyn's own Dean Haspiel joins us for a spell, pontificating on his career and recent work. If you're not familiar with this independent creator, he cut his teeth at Upstart Associates, assisting the likes of past guests Howard Chaykin, Walter Simonson, and Bill Sienkiewicz with some of their most acclaimed projects. His first major work was the anthology Keyhole, where he introduced one of his longest running characters, Billy Dogma. Dean collaborated with Harvey Pekar on American Splendor and The Quitter and with writer Jonathan Ames on The Alcoholic and the HBO series Bored to Death. He is also a big proponent of webcomics, having worked in the medium since its inception, and creating the acclaimed The Red Hook series.Most recently, Dean's taken to Kickstarter to crowdfund two books, Covid Cop and Billy Dogma, both of which you can purchase here:etsy.com/shop/deanhaspiel.
