Russ Kazmierczak Returns

Indie creator Russ Kazmierczak is back on the Bandits, celebrating his crossing the 55-issue milestone of Amazing Arizona Comics, reflecting on how the series has evolved since his last appearance, and the challenges of maintaining a long-running independent series. Russ also dives deep into his 10th year participating in the 24-Hour Comic Challenge, explaining the concept, his process of balancing planning versus spontaneous creation during the grueling 24-hour window, and how his efficiency has improved over a decade. We also discuss this year's challenge issue specifically—including moments when he doubted he'd finish—while sharing advice for aspiring challengers and teasing what's next for his series.
