Interview with C. Edward Sellner – Monarch of Manhattan Vol. 1: Arrival Kickstarter – CCP #607

The Comic Crusaders Podcast is back with another incredible guest! Host Al Mega sits down with writer and comic book creator C. Edward Sellner, known for powerful works like The Knight, Deadlands: Raven, and Deadlands: The Kid. In this exclusive interview, we dive deep into his brand-new Kickstarter project: Monarch of Manhattan Vol. 1: Arrival.

Sellner shares his journey from comic fan to professional writer, breaking down how he transitioned from enjoying stories to creating them. From his early influences to the lessons he learned on Deadlands, Sellner has carved out a unique voice in the indie comic scene.

The spotlight is on Sellner's latest creation, Monarch of Manhattan Vol. 1: Arrival. Described as a modern pulp fantasy mixed with a buddy-hero adventure, this series brings together myth, magic, and Manhattan. The story balances epic battles with grounded character struggles, creating a new kind of superheroic experience.

Set in New York City, the comic captures the energy of Manhattan while weaving in timeless pulp inspirations. The buddy dynamic between the Monarch and his partner creates humor, heart, and high-stakes storytelling that fans won't want to miss.

Sellner explains why Kickstarter was the right choice to launch Monarch of Manhattan. Backers get the chance to be part of the creative process and support indie storytelling at its best. From exclusive rewards to direct fan engagement, this campaign is about building community as much as it is about funding a comic.

In this interview, fans will learn:

• How Monarch of Manhattan compares to The Knight and Deadlands

• The biggest creative challenges Sellner faced while writing this story

• Behind-the-scenes insights into his collaboration with the art team

• What themes and emotions readers can expect when they close the final page of Vol. 1
