When I graduated and went on to college I stopped for a time, focused more on school, but eventually, in 2009, I dropped out. Some would be funny comics, some would be our own versions of superheroes. My friends Steve, Mike and I would make up characters and stories in class. Ryan: Making comics was always something I did as a kid and continued to do so through high school. MFR: When did you decide you wanted to create your own comics? And then when did you decide to publish yourself? And I think that feeling of this massive unexplored history really kept me interested. Around the same time 90’s cartoons like Spiderman, X-Men, and Batman TAS helped teach me some of the overall mythos and let me kind of piece stuff together. So many memories of just getting random comics and not even knowing what was happening in the overall story but just loving the action in them. When I got a little bit older we would ride our bikes up to a card and comics shop. I would just flip through them and look at the pictures. We’d spend hours and hours with him showing me X-Men, Spiderman, Batman, Spawn, The Maxx. Ryan: My earliest memories of comics come from an older cousin of mine sharing his books with me. MFR: Origin time! What’s your comic book fan origin? Where did your love for comics come from? Ryan: Hello again! Doing great! Been working on the next chapter of Nomads, and been messing around with block printing! Monkeys Fighting Robots: First of Ryan, thanks for taking some time to talk to us. So check out our chat and then make sure you order a copy of Nomads! Nomads is awesome and I just had to talk to Ryan about it. When he told me about his book Nomads, I knew I had to read it. Being floored by the art, I reached out to him. I discovered Ryan Tavarez’s work when I was lucky enough to do an early review of the upcoming comic A Game Of Doubles. Welcome to Self-Published Spotlight, a regular interview column where I will be highlighting self-published comics and the creators and small print publishers who make them.
