One of the most interesting things about Zub as a creator, and what first caught my attention, is his openness about his career and creative process. The extensive comic book tutorials on his website offer some brilliant advice on a range of topics, from publicity to building a creative team, and right through to the tricky stuff nobody else talks about - like, for instance money. Which means there's a lot to talk to him about! Ahead of issue #25 of Skullkickers - which you'll get to see preview pages from below - he spoke to me about building Skullkickers, assembling the team, and how he's managed to keep interest in the series so high.
