On the third episode of The Ashcan Edition, Brant Lewis interviews Avi Ehrlich, the founder and publisher of San Francisco based indie comics publisher Silver Sprocket. Since it’s founding, Silver Sprocket has become more than just a publisher and a store but a community giving artists and creatives the tools and knowledge of making the comics they want to make fully independently. With their recent crowdfunding efforts close to ending, Brant speaks to Avi about their plans and goals for the future of Silver Sprocket and how they don’t want to rely on outside investors to dictate the direction of the company by turning to crowdfunding. Silver Sprocket and Avi are truly punk to their very cores.
