Episode 153: Robert Roach

A teacher with a hand in many industries pops in to talk his incredible journey!

Robert Roach is an established Los Angeles-based comic artist, illustrator, and publisher known for his creator-owned work that often blends noir, mythology, and action. A true multi-talent, he is perhaps best recognized for the critically acclaimed, award-winning crime mini-series The Roach, which earned him the first Glyph "Rising Star" Award, and his action series Menthu, which puts an ancient Egyptian spin on modern heroism. Beyond his publishing company, Roachworks, he has spent years in the entertainment industry as a storyboard artist for films, videos, and commercials, and has even taught art and storyboarding techniques at Otis College of Art & Design.

Robert discusses tracking down Mike Grell using good ole fashioned detective work, being humbled as a budding artist but using it to learn a path toward getting better, living in Japan and how a love of Conan brought him to Ithuriel!
