Random Acts of Comics

Todd is joined by his comic book soulmate and fellow "mook," Walt Curley to discuss their favorite comfort food comics.    production note : you may notice moments where there is an echo in the room.   

Walter treats us to the inside scoop on his series, Ragnarok, and shows us that Norse mythology CAN be fun! Kinda harsh and maybe not a place to book your next summer rental, but beautifully illustrated all the same

When Terry and I get talking, you can't shut us up. Also, if you didn't notice last week, we've scattered random comedy skits betwixt and between this conversation to add a little levity to the proceedings. ( We love us some old time radio, so…enjoy? )       This episode has everything.  -Doug 

Terry Austin is an award-winning inker, known for his crisp, sharp lines and distinctive style. He has been in the industry for decades and has, most notably, illustrated Batman, the X-Men, Green Lantern, Camelot 300, X-Men/Teen Titans, and so many more. I'm not gonna even tell you more; go look him up. You'll be very, very impressed, I can tell you.

Got to spend all day today with my pal, Walter Simonson and, boy, are my ears tired. For part 3 of our Walter Simonson series, Walt gives us the lowdown on how he took over both the writing and the art chores for everyone's favorite Asgardian and, by adding in Norse mythology changed Marvel mythology forever.

Mike Norton — So thrilled to have artist Mike Norton on the podcast —  especially cause he's currently working with me to create some all new Tellos stories out next year from MadCave. We talk a little bit about it on the show so check it out!     *Production note : Once in a while, you'll hear a glitch or a bit of static. It was interference on the remote connection. In other words, it was recorded that way at the source and could not be repaired. - Doug  

Long before either of us got into the industry, Kevin and I worked at a small grocery store in Stephens Iowa. We were just teenagers at the time and he worked mostly produce while I handled the cookies/crackers/cereal isle. One day we decided to build a box fort out of the huge boxes of paper towels and toilet paper in the back room and convinced this other kid who worked with us, Shelby, that it was the doorway to another dimension. Shelby was gullible like that and we really sold it. But Shelby went in and we heard a "crack"… and we never saw Shelby again. We quickly disassembled the box for and no one ever knew. Til now.   (*stay tuned for an extra special guest cameo at the end)
