"Sometimes the most pivotal moments in life come from the most unexpected places."
In this episode, I sit down with Rich Davis, an Eisner-nominated comic writer and the mastermind behind gripping series like Cult of Dracula, Rise of Dracula, Prometheus in Chains, REIGN OF DRACULA, and his latest project, Angel/Hunter.
Rich’s journey is a testament to the power of serendipity, passion, and relentless curiosity. We dive into: - How walking into a drama class and signing up for a 400-level Japanese history course set him on the path to becoming a storyteller. - The joy of writing—why he still finds magic in the craft, even after years in the industry. - Finding purpose early in life—and why he believes creative fulfillment is about more than just success. - The unexpected moments that shaped his career, from indie comics to Eisner recognition. - His latest project, Angel/Hunter, and how he reinvents classic horror myths.
Rich is one of those rare creators who radiates enthusiasm for his work, and this conversation is packed with insights for writers, artists, and anyone looking to turn their passion into a life’s work.
