How Sam Johnson Took a Big Swing with a Crossover Series on Kickstarter
by Clay Adams
This month, I talk to Sam Johnson, a British writer who has a Masters in Creative Writing for Film & TV and has been working in comics for fifteen years. Among this work, he created Cabra Cini (pronounced (Chee-nee): Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman, a character who had a strip annually in the Halloween issue of H!M Comics' IF-X anthology, and has now come into the Geek-Girl ongoing series, her own Mini-Series, and the new Cabra Cini/Geek-Girl Exodus Crossover. He has self-published two The Almighties one-shots (a comedy super-team co-created with Mike Gagnon); released a 4-issue Geek-Girl Mini-Series through publisher Markosia monthly from Nov 2016, and ran a successful Kickstarter for its TPB - which has now been followed with Geek-Girl's ongoing series and the new Cabra Cini/Geek-Girl: Exodus Crossover.
