In this episode of the Indie Creator Exchange, hosts Kurt and Jake reconnect with TC Pescatore and Loco González to discuss their trade paperback Junction Jones and the Corduroy Conspiracy, published by Markosia. The conversation dives deep into the creative and technical process behind their cyber-folk noir graphic novel—a surreal blend of hobo myth, post-apocalyptic sci-fi, and noir detective storytelling. TC discusses his poetic, non-linear writing style and the evolution from singles to a full narrative, while Loco explains his minimalist, line-focused art inspired by Moebius and retrofuturist design. The duo reflects on their organic collaboration across continents, evolving visual experimentation, and Markosia’s global distribution model. The episode highlights their creative chemistry, the challenges of indie publishing, and their vision for future projects, proving that passion and persistence can bridge distance and redefine independent comic storytelling.
