How Lucas Scheffel Beat Imposter Syndrome and Got a Grant For His Comic Book Series
by Clay Adams
This month, I talk to Lucas Scheffel, the creative force behind Angry Fred Comics, a deeply personal comic book brand born from the memory of his late father Fred, a passionate storyteller with an uncompromising spirit. Through this creative universe, Lucas honours his father's love of telling stories while forging his own path as a comic book creator.
Drawing from his background in filmmaking and photography, Lucas brings a unique cinematic perspective to his comics. His comics aren't just illustrated stories, they're visual experiences that create high-end action-driven narratives resonating with both seasoned enthusiasts and curious newcomers. The Angry Fred Comics legacy continues to evolve as a family creative endeavour, with Lucas's son Phoenix now contributing his own work, The Adventures of Pepperoni Man, adding fresh energy to the brand's growing catalogue. Lucas's creative journey began at age 12 when he first discovered comics, building a collection that would fuel decades of artistic inspiration.
