CEO Bradley Golden Takes Us Behind the Scenes of Second Sight Publishing

INDIE COMICS ZONE: The way people look at comics and stories from comic books (and manga) is changing, especially after the MCU and DC movies. From your perspective, are comic books on the rise, or do you think something else is happening?

BRADLEY GOLDEN:Honesty, I think comics are changing. When I go to my local comic book stores I see more and more people are decreasing their weekly pull list for the lack of great stories.

I believe DC and Marvel need to get back to the basics of what made them great back when legends like John Byrne, Walt Simonson, Alan Moore, and Chris Claremont told the stories.

I’m not saying the writers of today can’t tell compelling stories, because some are. I’m just stating that they need to research more and find out what made them so great and incorporate that into their work.

INDIE COMICS ZONE:What advice would you give a young creator who wants to get started in the field?

BRADLEY GOLDEN:I would say get out there and create comics. You really can’t get into this industry until you have a body of work to show. That’s the long and short of it.

We’ll [give] creators the ability to start getting paid they will be activated and you can start buying their stuff. It’s as simple as that.

INDIE COMICS ZONE:Can you tell us some new projects that you’ve got cooking with Second Sight?

BRADLEY GOLDEN:Shook! A Black Horror Anthology from Dark Horse Comics. Written by Marcus H Roberts, Rodney Barnes, David Walker, Kevin Grevioux, Brandon Easton, Alverne Ball, John Jennings, Evan Parke, and myself. The artist are David Brame, Charlie Goubile, Daniel Gorman, Shawn Allenye, Jamal Williams Jr., Jemel Williams, Roberto Castro, Adam Seats and Flavio Cortes.

The Tears. Written by Luca Frigerio, Andy Licari, Alessandro Delfino, and I’m acting as editor.
