Join us in Episode 359 of Storycomic Presents, where host Barney Smith is thrilled to welcome Justin Cooke, the creative mind behind the innovative comic series, 'SWAT: The Secret Wizard Assault Team.' This episode delves into the unique blend of action, humor, and fantasy that defines the series, bringing a fresh twist to the urban fantasy genre.

In 'SWAT,' a ragtag team of wizards, outcasts, and oddballs, led by the grizzled wizard detective Larry Slaughter, uphold the Grand Bargain—a pact that keeps monsters in check under strict hunting quotas. Think of it as Harry Potter meets The Wire, with a touch of What We Do in the Shadows humor. Justin discusses the inspirations behind this eclectic mix, the development of its quirky characters, and the dynamics of working with his creative partner, Rachel Distler.

Explore how 'SWAT' stands out in the comic world by mixing magical elements with gritty detective work and dark comedy. Justin shares behind-the-scenes insights into the creation of the comic, its narrative challenges, and what fans can expect from future issues.
