Creator Chit Chat: Jason Douglas on Jane American

This week, Joe catches up with writer Jason Douglas about the Mad Cave Studios / Papercutz release of his originally self-published graphic novel, Jane American, illustrated by Annie Wright.Jane American releases on 1st September from the Papercutz imprint of Mad Cave Studios, and it is available for pre-order now from comic book stores and the book market. This is essential for the success of the book, so please go support it if you're interested!Notably, Jane American recently became the first self-published comic to win the Ringo Award for Best Original Graphic Novel. It is described as a World War II, small town America, rip-roaring adventure and heart breaking coming-of-age tale in the vein of "Superman For All Seasons" and "Archie 1941". It's a deeply researched, personal and emotionally powerful story relatable to everyone, exploring themes of identity, gender, self-worth and small-town societal norms in post-WWII America.I personally enjoyed it and would highly recommend! Over the last few years, it's been an honour to follow the creation and progression of Jane American, as well as Jason's comic writing career in general, so it was really nice to catch up with him once again.You can find Jason across the internet at ⁠linktr.ee/jdouglaswritesYou can find Joe on Blue Sky ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@joetalkscomics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and on the League of Comic Geeks⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @joelovescomics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, you can email the show at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you enjoy the show, please subscribe, and rate and review it 5 stars, I would really appreciate it.Episode 161.
