How do you mix supernatural horror with the world of professional wrestling? In this episode of Collectors Confessions, we sit down with comic book creator Dirk Manning to discuss his career, his iconic series "Tales of Mr. Rhee" and "Nightmare World," and how he built a loyal fanbase in the indie scene.
Dirk Manning is a master of networking and self-promotion in the comic industry. We dive deep into his writing process, his advice for aspiring creators (from his "Write or Wrong" series), and his passion for wrestling that led to projects like "Butts in Seats." Whether you want to know how to break into comics or just love a good horror story, this interview is packed with insights.
In this video, we cover:

The origins of the "Tales of Mr. Rhee" horror noir series
How to successfully market indie comics at conventions
The crossover between horror fans and wrestling fans
Dirk's advice for writers on how to actually finish their scripts
Stories from the road and the reality of the comic book business

We sit down with Dirk Manning, a talented author, to discuss his work, including the "London After Midnight" trade paperback. This particular "graphic novel" offers fans a unique opportunity to experience a story that is otherwise considered "lost music." We dive into the process of "making comics" and the significance of preserving "comic books" for future generations. This "comic review" highlights the importance of his "books" to the community.
