It is a privilege to welcome BentBox Comics co-founder Chris O’Hara to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
Chris O’Hara is the co-founder of the independent comic book publisher BentBox Comics. His love for comics dates to his childhood when his father passed down the joy and wonder of the Silver Age. Chris has always been a creative type, with many past ventures in entertainment and self-expression, all leading back to his first love.
BentBox Comics is a small independent comic book publisher operating in Southwest Florida. BentBox is the love child of two incredibly creative and entrepreneurial high school friends with a shared dream to craft beautiful and meaningful stories that’ll entertain for decades to come. Having only started in early 2022, they have numerous projects across many genres. Their current project is Artificial, a love letter to human creativity starring Vincent van Gogh as he battles against our future AI overlords.
In this edition of The Jakes’ Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Chris O’Hara shared the Bentbox Comics’ origin story, how he is overcoming obstacles to starting his own comic book publishing business, and how a fictional version of beloved artist Bob Ross almost joined the cast of Artificial.
