Mark Ostler

Something (rather than nothing)

Mark Ostler joins the show to kick around comic books - specifically his work Ivar the Boxer and Waltzing Carpet Juliette

We also talked about Warning: Danger!

Mark Ostler is a comic book writer and publisher. In 2023, he wrapped up a 4 issue mini-series titled, “Waltzing Carpet Juliette” about the dangers of consumerism. In 2024, he began a new self-published comic book series titled, “Ivar The Boxer”.

Mark Ostler can’t draw comics. Thankfully, he’s got talented friends who are skilled artists. Thus far, 37 different illustrators have contributed artwork to these collaborative comic books. What began as a creative daydream has blossomed into an incredible comic book community. Together, we’re creating “Waltzing Carpet Juliette” and “Ivar The Boxer”.

Mark is also the lead singer of “WARNING: DANGER!” – a Seattle based punk band. They have released 7 different albums, embarked on 3 West Coast tours, produced 4 different videos, featured on 2 compilation albums and 1 movie soundtrack. Check out WARNING: DANGER!’s music on all major streaming platforms.

Sometime soon, a major publishing house might pick up Mark’s comics or music.
