On this episode of the USDN Podcast, we’re joined by Kevin Davis, creator of Skinshifter Volume 1, an indie horror comic that explores identity, fear, and survival through a supernatural lens.
We dive into the origins of the project, the creation of The Jackel Bunny—a soul-hunting entity sent by the Prince of Hell—and how Skinshifter builds a unique horror experience rooted in psychological tension and high-stakes storytelling.
Kevin also shares insight into his creative process, working with artist Daya Negron, and what it takes to bring a creator-owned comic to life through Kickstarter.
If you’re interested in indie comics, horror storytelling, and the journey of independent creators, this episode delivers a deep look into building a world from the ground up.
