Trevor Mueller is the writer of Nexus Point, Re-Possessed, the multi-Harvey Award nominated Albert the Alien, Bat Pat, and many more comics. It feels like this episode has been a long time coming as Jimmy welcomes Trevor onto the podcast for a wide-ranging discussion about making comics, writing all-ages comics including Bat Pat as well as the upcoming Papercutz series: Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society, growing with your audience, his convention experience, inspiring his kids to create their own comics and tell their own stories, and also the movie Alien Nation (1988). Like I said: wide-ranging. Trevor discusses working with Papercutz editor Adam Wallenta on the Secret S.T.E.A.M. Society books (the first is out in February) as well wanting to have a comic for everybody, which is where the definitely not for kids Demon City came from.
The conversation covers adapting animation scripts into comics, balancing empathy and adventure, navigating webtoons and self-publishing, and why all-ages comics are some of the hardest stories to write well. Whether you’re an indie creator, aspiring comic writer, or longtime fan of graphic novels, this episode offers practical insight into comic storytelling and creative growth.

Bat Pat vol. 1 (https://papercutz.com/product/bat-pat...)
Silver siblings Martin, Leo, and Rebecca unravel mysteries along with their friend Bat Pat and cross paths with supernatural creatures of the night. But these supernatural “bad guys” are not really bad, but normal people under a curse or otherworldly characters whose actions are misunderstood by the more…well…alive. Bat Pat and the Kids aspire to be protectors of the Supernatural!!!
Bat Pat follows the spooky and comical animated adventures of the talking bat, Bat Pat, and the Silver siblings Martin, Leo, and Rebecca as they unravel mysteries and cross paths with supernatural creatures of the night that lurk, haunt, shriek and dig themselves up in every dark corner of their home in Fogville – a small town that seems to be the center of all things weird in the world, a veritable magnet to ghosts, mummies, witches, and yes…werewolves! Our heroes will come to understand something important that puts a unique twist on the series: the supernatural “bad guys” are not really bad, but normal people under a curse or other-worldly characters whose actions are misunderstood by the more…well…alive. Bat Pat and the Kids aspire to be protectors of the Supernatural!!!
