SEARED x Steve Hofstetter
August 2026 // editor, colorist
STEVE HOFSTETTER sits down in Grand Rapids and gets into the parts of the story that don't fit in a set. A Mets fandom inherited from a father who never got over the Brooklyn Dodgers. A childhood in Queens where work looked like the only way out, and a brother whose brilliance got bored. The bullying he wrote about in his book Ginger Kid, and the line his publisher fought him on. Why he'd rather be called perceptive than smart, why comics chase laughs they can't explain, and the fraternity president who asked him a question he's carried ever since.
