Frank is a stunningly original graphic novel from cartoonist Ben Rankel and publisher Alexander Finbow of Renegade Arts Entertainment, and the tale behind the tale of this wonderful piece of historical fiction is almost as exciting as the book itself.

Ben and Alex join the We Talk Comics podcast to fill in everyone on the creation of the GN inspired by the real life events in Frank, Alberta, in 1903 during the Frank Slide that devastated the local mining community, how the idea to mix in a murder mystery to those events came to be, and the strategy for marketing the book.

It’s a very insightful, and just plain fun episode, so check it out, and pick up your very own copy of Frank!
