In this episode of The USDN Podcast - Where Indie Comics Come to Life, The Chairman sits down with Alejandro Rosales Duran, creator of Drako & Sambos Inc., to discuss what it really takes to build a comic universe from scratch.
Coming from Colombia, Alejandro is working to create his own lane in the global comic space — developing original characters, telling new stories, and building a creator-owned brand from the ground up.
The conversation explores:
• Alejandro’s origin story and early inspirations
• The creation of Drako & Sambos Inc.
• His comic project Archer of Heat
• The realities of the indie creator grind
• Social media strategies for artists
• The importance of consistency and enjoying the creative process
This episode is a deep dive into the mindset, discipline, and vision required to build something of your own in the indie comic space.
