and Program Director switch roles as hosts of the podcast WHAT IS COMICS?, an organic conversation between two friends about the medium we love. The goal is to enlighten and entertain, but mainly to chat with my buddy once a week.This week, they spoke with Mahdi Khene:
Mahdi Khene is a New York City-based cartoonist and publisher. In 2021, he co-founded an indie publishing company called Zuperhero Comics. Along with having been a score composer for short films, he dove into the world of underground comics and released acclaimed titles such as STEEL STREETS and BOOTLEG SPIDER-MAN.
