FLASHBACK! Weirdo was a magazine started by R. Crumb, which featured Crumb's work alongside that of a number of other underground-type comics creators. Crumb's work from Weirdo's 28 issues was collected in 2013 as R. Cru
Westron is about a private investigator who investigates crimes with supernatural elements. When a girl is murdered, he feels driven to solve the crime by the memory of a childhood friend who was killed. Tim and Jason lo
At last we complete our look at Alan Moore 's Swamp Thing run, looking at Swampy's battle with Gotham City, his seeming death, and his travels through space. Along the way, Tim and Kumar have totally different takes on a
Typical of the Jack Kirby comics we've read from the 1970s, the 1977 Black Panther series is a wild ride. Issues 5 and 6 feature a city of samurai (apparently nowhere near Japan), a yeti (nowhere near the Himalayas), and
Adam Tierney , writer of the recent hit one-shot Romeo and Juliet and Godzilla , is a video game writer who dabbles in comics as a hobby -- and it's looking like a very successful hobby! This week he talks to Tim about c
Jim Steranko 's Nick Fury stories from the late 1960s are lauded for the artwork, especially in the stories after Fury got out of Strange Tales and into his own book. The stories are wacky and kind of haphazard. The layo
FLASHBACK! Why read a biography of a fictional comics artist? What if it's also a history of Singapore — done in a style that apes more than a dozen seminal 20th century comics creators? Tim and Kumar take a look at the
Black Panther continues his wild ride, courtesy of Jack Kirby -- but filling a role that could have been played by virtually any character. With Abner Little and Princess Zanda, we see him fight various treasure protecto
Ian M is a Japan-based Canadian creator whose work we've discussed on this podcast before. His work is often about Japan, but not necessarily about himself. In The Blossoming City part one , he begins the story (presumab
FLASHBACK! We continue our look at Alan Moore's 1980s run on Swamp Thing — a run in which the title character met werewolves and vampires (as Moore and co. found a new way to use these old tropes), as well as new charact
FLASHBACK! Even amidst the anything-goes craziness of the early Image years, Sam Kieth's The Maxx was an outlier. While it included some superhero tropes, it wasn't really a superhero book, nor was it like much of anythi
Somehow it's taken us 20 years of podcasting to get to Jim Steranko's fabled run on Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. But is the early stuff really so fabled? There's lots of action and it's exciting, but don't dare think
FLASHBACK! Due perhaps to the passage of time, poorly handled reprinting by DC, or some other reason, Alan Moore's writing stint on Swamp Thing in the 1980s does not seem to get mentioned much today. Which is a shame, be
We begin our look at Jack Kirby 's Black Panther series from the 1970s, introducing a new Kirby character who's a bit too similar to one who first appeared in Captain America ! Panther has somehow gotten mixed up in the
Sometimes, achieving your dream can be kind of a nightmare, even though it's also rewarding. Claudia, in Katriona Chapman 's latest graphic novel The Pass , has started her own restaurant and enjoys creating in the kitch
Inio Asano's Goodnight Punpun gives us what appear to be a family of ghostly birds living in a much more realistic-looking world. People within that world don't see them that way, though. It's a world where authority fig
After "hunting" the Fantastic Four , the Black Panther reveals that he did it for practice, as he anticipated a battle against his father's killer: Ulysses Klaw . Sure enough, Klaw shows up right on schedule, and the FF
At some point, the idea that some comics should be for adults took over to the extent that it became hard to find good comics for kids. Cartoonist Harold Buchholz was involved in starting an organization called Kids Love
