030: Ryan Silbert and Luke Lieberman on Alliances: Orphans

Pub Date is a podcast dedicated to the love of books, and the authors who bring them into the world! In today’s episode, Copper Director of Communications, Alex Hudgens, sits down with our first graphic novel creators on the show– Ryan Silbert and Luke Lieberman! Buckle up, because you’re in for a fun ride. From the mind of legendary comics creator Stan Lee, the architect of the Marvel Universe, comes Alliances: Orphans, a brand-new original graphic novel set in the New York Times best-selling Alliances universe, co-written by Lee with Luke Lieberman (Red Sonja) and Ryan Silbert (The Coldest Case). Orphans is a fast-paced adventure, and a moving story of found-family that explodes onto the page through brilliant images and the sharp, smart writing that we’ve grown accustomed to when it comes to the Marvel universe. Listen in to hear Luke and Ryan talk about the writing process when there are multiple collaborators, working with Stan Lee, and how to find the best creative partners for your project. This dynamic duo also dives into the work ethic required to become an ‘overnight success’ and how that notion has played out in their careers. Today’s episode is certainly for you if you’re an aspiring graphic novelist, but there are so many nuggets of wisdom in this conversation for any aspiring author! Marvel fans will enjoy hearing about working with the legendary Stan Lee, especially since Luke and Ryan give us an insider’s peek into his creative process. This conversation will also inspire and encourage you to get into community as you create, and remind you that you’re never alone.
