Exclusive Interview with G.H.O.S.T. Agents Creator/Producer Rocko Jerome: The Kickstarter Success Story
Independent comic book creator Rocko Jerome is making waves in the industry with his series G.H.O.S.T. Agents. With the help of 20 new artists and outlaw comics icon Ken Landgraf, Jerome is pushing the boundaries of independent comics by utilizing the Kickstarter platform to fund his projects.
G.H.O.S.T. Agents: Apocalyptico, a treasury-sized, newsprint-papered book, has been praised as “a stunning achievement” by cartoonist/podcaster Jim Rugg. Jerome is currently in the final days of a Kickstarter campaign for the next installment, G.H.O.S.T. Agents: Crimson Reckoning, and is working tirelessly to make it a success.
In a recent interview, Jerome discussed the plot and process behind G.H.O.S.T. Agents, describing it as a spy-fi, sixties-style series that spans multiple genres through episodic short stories. He emphasized his collaborative approach with artists, allowing them creative freedom to bring their visions to life.
Jerome credits Kickstarter as a game-changer for independent creators like himself, providing a platform for promotion and funding that traditional methods may not offer. He highlighted the importance of every supporter and share in helping his projects succeed, expressing his passion for seeing G.H.O.S.T. Agents thrive.
With G.H.O.S.T. Agents: Apocalyptico and the upcoming G.H.O.S.T. Agents: Crimson Reckoning, Jerome is embracing a bold choice by producing old-school treasury-sized, newsprint books. Despite the limited availability of previous issues, Jerome remains focused on pushing the boundaries of the medium and supporting the artists he collaborates with.
For those interested in diving into the world of G.H.O.S.T. Agents, Apocalyptico is available on GHOSTagents.net, where the Kickstarter campaign for Crimson Reckoning can also be explored. Jerome’s dedication to his craft and his commitment to supporting emerging artists make G.H.O.S.T. Agents a series to watch in the world of independent comics.
