JUNKET: Hidden Worlds Revealed — Building Myth, Meaning & Indie Worlds with Ray Reynet
On this episode of The USDN Podcast, we’re joined by Ray Reynet — independent comic creator, writer, illustrator, animator, and founder of Farlook Studios.
Ray is the creator of JUNKET: Hidden Worlds Revealed, a creator-owned comic series that blends mythology, faith, adventure, and bold cartooning with the spirit of classic comics. Inspired by creators like Jack Kirby and Darwyn Cooke, JUNKET has earned a cult following in Florida comic shops and is now expanding into animation, short films, and other media.
In this conversation, we explore: • Building an indie comic from the ground up • The realities of self-publishing and creative independence • Storytelling across comics, animation, and myth • Why creator-owned worlds matter now more than ever
This episode is a deep dive into the mindset, process, and perseverance behind modern independent comics.
