Congratulations! You stumbled upon a new indie comic publisher!

I’ll go right ahead and say it now, I have no clue what I’m doing on WordPress, but I’m trying to figure it out.

I’m Kevin Joseph, writer and cocreator of the indie comic books Tart and UnderWars. Tart was previously published by a small company out of Orlando. Unfortunately, differences in how to approach the digital landscape led my artist (Ludovic Salle) and I to take Tart back for the time being and publish it ourselves.

My humor comic UnderWars (cowritten with the artist C.M. Brennan) was already out there on its own. So I decided to create an imprint where the two comics could coincide. So how to publish two books that could NOT be more different? One a fantasy/mystery/time-travel caper most often described as Buffy meets Sandman meets Dr. Who. And the other an absurd comedy chronicling the misadventures of a monkey who gains the ability to talk when placed in a pair of men’s Tightie Whitie underpants. Finally, I hit on Kechal (pronounced catch all) Comics.

We will try to run the gamut of types of books as we move forward, with our only guiding philosophy being to produce the highest quality, most entertaining books we can.

Will we ever publish someone else’s work? Never say never. But not until I’ve learned a lot more about the business. I only want my mistakes to hurt myself going forward. And until I have a better grasp on the business end of comics, I wouldn’t want to lead anyone else astray.

So thanks for reading this blog post, and hopefully in the near future, for reading Tart and UnderWars!

Sincerely,

Kevin
