About
Mission
Sideswipe’s mission is to build a better webcomic with our four pillars:
- Opportunity: To preserve and build upon the legacy of the classic comic book storytellers by giving creators from less advantaged areas of the world profitable artistic opportunities.
- Creativity: Empowering our creators with freedom of expression and the platform to provide our followers a dose of positivity, escape and imagination in their daily social media routine.
- Community: Fostering a community and common ground for positive conversations around entertaining inspirational, and aspirational ideas and stories.
- Sustainability: Growing the global appreciation for the graphic novel art-form while using ethical business practices and being responsible economically, socially, and environmentally.
Founder/Fanboy
Christian Lambert has been a lifelong fan of comicbooks. He dreamt of being a writer/artist like John Byrne, Frank Miller, or Walter Simonson. Those aspirations of being a storyteller led him to a career spanning digital content creation, video production, and content marketing.
Now he is returning to his dream of creating comics armed with decades of experience in story structure, digital content production, and social media marketing.
