Listen Later

Show notes by Joe Peluso

Keith and Joe are back with special guest Dylan for the second part of his "Secret Origin". And this time around they are treated to a master class on Manga! Once again Dylan informs and entertains, with youthful enthusiasm and insight, as he educates and elucidates the merits of the medium's differences and similarities with "western" comics.
    From the not for the faint-of-heart "Berserk" to the more
approachable "Naruto", your two hosts get a "Shonen Jump" sized tour of the world of Manga. Keith and Joe ask questions about themes, packaging, influences, availability and vision concerning this form of graphic storytelling that is growing exponentially here in the US. And like hall-of-famer Derek Jeter, Dylan fields their questions with skill and grace.
    And stick around for the end as the two" old guy"s (You need to know dendrochronology to guess Joe's age.) make some non-Manga recommendations to Dylan. It's a fun-filled hour of  Eastern and Western comics talk that we think you will thoroughly enjoy!
