Cartoonist Raz Sibaja talks EL CABRON PISTOLERO - A Kickstarter Interview

By Zack Quaintance — Sometimes you come across artwork and a name for a comic that combines to immediately let you know this is a book you were destined to love. That was certainly the case with me and the new Kickstarter comic, El Cabron Pistolero. The name is simple but effective, roughly translating in English to the bastard (in a cool way!) gunslinger, and the artwork aesthetic has this cool 80s grafiti cartooning vibe that I absolutely love. I immediately backed this project and reached out the same day to ask the creator if we could connect for an interview.
