Interview with Blind Comic Creator Richard Fairgray Octopus: A Memoir of Flailing (2023) | Two Geeks Talking

Richard Fairgray is a comic book writer and artist, known for creating comics such as Blastosaurus, Black Sand Beach, Haunted Hill, SHED, Four Color Heroes, and others. He is also a blind comic artist with a chemical imbalance in his brain that allows him to process images at an incredible speed, remember too much and almost never sleep. His newest comic, Octopus: A Flailing Memoir, is a 144-page graphic memoir about his life and experiences over the course of 18 months. The comic includes 7 connected stories that capture key turning points in his life, including his struggles with suicide, divorce, and relationships. The comic is an adult story filled with complicated emotions and steamy sex clubs. We talk about his love of Harvey Pekar, how adventures happen to him frequently and when he least expects it, and an exclusive look at what the first stretch goal of the Kickstarter campaign will be! The Kickstarter campaign for the comic was successfully funded in 6 HOURS and can be found at www.kickrichard.com Don't miss an episode, subscribe to our podcast now at https://twogeekstalking.podbean.com and our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/tgtmedia Want more content like this?
