#TalkingComics w/ Kevin Cullen: Jason Brubaker on Audiobooks and Unnatural Talent
From launching incredibly successful Kickstarters and developing Dreamworks feature films, to writing a “how-to” book on self-publishing comics, Making Comics Dot Com’s very own Jason Brubaker is one busy, busy fellow.
