From Rideshare to Impostor: Owen King & Jesse Kellerman Dive into ‘Self Help’

This week on The Marvelists, Peter Melnick and Eddie Wilson are joined by special guests Owen King and Jesse Kellerman. The acclaimed novelists sit down to discuss their hit Image Comics miniseries Self Help, a California noir comedy full of mistaken identity, self-help gurus, rideshare drivers, shady opportunists, and plenty of dark humor. Owen and Jesse share how they teamed up to create the story, their experience working with artist Marianna Ignazzi, and why comics were the ideal medium for this sun-soaked tale of ambition, deception, and influencer culture gone wrong. They also talk about channeling classic Hollywood noir vibes and bringing their twisted, funny vision to life across the five-issue series.
