david brothers

I'm David Brothers! I edit Japanese and American comic books for a living, and I like to write in my off-time because I just can't get enough of typing!!

I like writing comics and cultural criticism as much as fiction, so my focus tends to shift as the spirit moves. You can find out more about me at iamdavidbrothers.com, or listen to me and my friends Deb Aoki, Christopher Woodrow-Butcher, and Chip Zdarsky talk about manga from a semi-evangelical perspective on the Mangasplaining podcast, available on the various podcast apps and at mangasplaining.com.

I needed a place to put my stories and collaborations! I'm having a weird time with art lately, so I'm putting up anything I produced solo for free/pay-what-you-want. I like crime fiction more than just about anything else, so if you like dirtbags and skulduggery, you should give Darker Than Blue a try.

A couple of friends keep tricking me into making comics, too. You can download those here, but you gotta pay for those. I can't rope my friends into my weird hang-ups and still call myself a good friend! We do good work, though.
