Update: 2025-06-18
Description
Mark Spears, the artist behind the breakout horror hit: MARK SPEARS MONSTERS, joins The Short Box to talk about his rise from rejection to recognition. He unpacks the eerie origins of MONSTERS, and his early journey of trying to break into comics, as well as the cult-favorite (and sold-out!) MONSTERS trading cards, becoming Dynamite's go-to cover guy, his first sold-out comic con appearance, and how a self-made horror project led to a life changing meeting with Todd McFarlane
