36. Traveling Worlds Away with Damien Becton

If you stay active in comic spaces on social media, you're bound to meet a few likeminded people. But when I met comic writer Damien Becton at this year's HeroesCon, it was like seeing a long lost friend for the first time. It's hard to explain, but you'll hear it in today's interview. In this episode, Damien stops by to talk about breaking into comics, winning the Mad Cave Studios Talent Search, and his campaign for Worlds Away Volume 1, available now.Back Worlds Away on Kickstarter: http://worldsawaycomic.comFollow Damien's Journey: https://www.damienbecton.com/About Damien:Damien was born in Sumter, SC and earned his Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from the University of South Carolina Upstate.
