This week in Questionable Comics we’ve paired frequent collaborators Jason Copland and Curt Pires, the team behind some of our favorite indie series, including Pop and The Tomorrows, both published through Dark Horse. Up first is Jason! What current projects are you working on? I’m currently working on a comic for Stela with Fabian Rangel Jr called […]

People tend to reminisce about long gone eras, arguing that things were always better way back when.
