Creator Chit Chat: Francis Manapul on Clear

Creator Chit Chat: Francis Manapul on Clear

This week Joe talks with one of his favourite creators Francis Manapul, artist of new comic Clear, written by Scott Snyder, as well as his career and creative process in general. 

Clear #1 is out now, the day this episode goes live, so go check it out at your LCS or digitally on Comixology if you're interested! The original digital version of Clear is free to read on Comixology with an Amazon Prime, Kindle Unlimited or Comixology Unlimited subscription, but as always it's even better to support your local comic store and a comic like this physically if you are able to! 

If you read the first issue now it's in print (which I would of course recommend but to each their own) and enjoy it, make sure to ask your local comic store to pre-order the upcoming issues for you as pre-orders are essential to the success of a comic like this.

Clear is written by Scott, drawn, inked and colored by Francis, lettered by AndWorld Design and edited by Will Dennis. It was first published by Comixology as a digital comic, and now the print edition is published by Dark Horse Comics.

You can find Francis on Instagram @francis_manapul, on Twitter @FrancisManapul and on YouTube @FrancisManapulArt
